• Abstract: Delays in protein synthesis cause a confounding effect when constructing Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) from RNA-sequencing time-series data. Accurate GRNs can be very insightful when modelling development, disease pathways, and drug side-effects. We present a model which incorporates translation delays by combining mechanistic equations and Bayesian approaches to fit to experimental data. This enables greater biological interpretability, and the use of Gaussian processes enables non-linear expressivity through kernels as well as naturally accounting for biological variation.

  We introduce the framework of generative flow networks (GFlowNets) to tackle two core problems in phylogenetics: parsimony-based and phylogenetic inference. Because GFlowNets are well-suited for sampling complex structures, they are a natural choice for exploring and sampling from the multimodal posterior distribution over tree topologies. We demonstrate that our amortized posterior sampler, PhyloGFN, produces diverse and high-quality evolutionary hypotheses on real benchmark datasets.

  Gene regulatory networks (GRN) describe interactions between genes and their products that control gene expression and cellular function. Existing methods either focus on challenge (1), identifying cyclic structure from dynamics, or on challenge (2) learning complex Bayesian posteriors over DAGs, but not both. In this paper we leverage the fact that it is possible to estimate the "velocity" of gene expression with RNA velocity techniques to develop an approach that addresses both challenges.
