Biological processes involve complex interactions between genes. Such interactions may be represented employing a conditional independence graph.

Abstract

Biological processes involve complex interactions between genes. Such interactions may be represented employing a conditional independence graph. Here, we propose the use of a PC-stable algorithm to estimate the neighbourhood of each node in the graph, thus learning its structure. We apply our algorithm to two single- cell RNA sequencing datasets, demonstrating that we can identify important genes as hub nodes in the networks.
