summary(mynoiseqbio@results[[1]]) #too many false positives

So, I decided that noiseqbio did not give reasonable outcomes. Although, different parameters may yield different results.

For comparison, I tried noiseq, which gave reasonable results.

NOIseq RNAseq differential analysis

http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/NOISeq.html

M: fold-change differences
D: absolute expression differences

(M,D) pair for each gene is evaluated based on a null distribution estimated from technical or biological replicates or simulations in 2011GR.

In NIOSEQBIO, theta=(M+D)/2 seems to be the statistic used for null distribution based on my understanding of its manual.

Probability = 0.8 was the cutoff for differentially expressed genes in 2011GR.
Probability = 0.95 (FDR) is recommended for biologically replicated samples.

In its Tarazona2011GR, noiseq-real and noiseq-sim were used. These two versions have now evolved to noiseq and noiseqbio.  

NOISEQBIO is optimized for biological replicates.

When using noiseq and noiseqbio, normalization and filtering can be done through parameters, 'norm'.

Regarding the low-count filtering, it is not necessary to filter in NOISeq  method. In contrast, it is recommended to do it in NOISeqBIO , which by default fliters out low-count features with CPM method (filter=1 ).

# noiseq(input, k = 0.5, norm = c("rpkm","uqua","tmm","n"),  replicates = c("technical","biological","no"), factor=NULL, conditions=NULL, pnr = 0.2, nss = 5, v = 0.02, lc = 0)

mynoiseq = noiseq(mydata, k = 0.5, norm = "rpkm", factor="Tissue", pnr = 0.2, 
                  nss = 5, v = 0.02, lc = 1, replicates = "technical")

big challenges in evolution and ecology

https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/what-are-the-top-5-grand-challenges-in-biology/

 1) linking genotype to phenotype, and understanding how the environment influences that link and 2) understanding biological diversity (its evolution, its maintenance, and the consequences of its loss).

So, understanding the origin of life would definitely be one of my grand challenges.

A clear fourth challenge relates to understanding the brain – clearly this is a huge, very active area of research, and it’s also something that students will find really engaging. (It’s also one of the challenges on the list I linked to earlier.)

1. Linking phenotype to genotype
2. Understanding biodiversity
3. Origins of life
4. Understanding the brain
5. Sustainable agriculture

Exemplar Research Questions

The following list provides some examples of topics on which faculty in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of Tennessee, Knoxville, would be interested in recruiting graduate students for entry in August 2017.

This list is not exhaustive – indeed, far from it. There are other faculty members who will be recruiting students in the Department. Also, the listed faculty members may recruit students who have different interests to those listed. But we prepared this list just to illustrate to prospective students some of the diversity of topics on which we envision recruiting, spanning conservation, macroevolution, global change ecology, molecular genetics, biology education and systematics, among many other topics.

http://www.christopherxjjensen.com/2015/02/16/the-big-questions-in-ecology-and-evolution/

Below is the list, in the chronological order that I plan to introduce them, of “foundational questions in ecology and evolution”:

1. Why does life exist at all?
2. What makes life different from non-life?
3. Why do some individuals die and some live?
4. How to do living things survive?
5. How random is nature?
6. Why don’t we live forever?
7. Why do life forms look the way they do?
8. Why are there diverse organisms?
9. How do we partition diversity?
10. What drives the patterns of diversity that we see across the earth?
11. What determines the population size of different kinds of organisms?
12. Why are some places more biodiverse than others?
13. What are the various ways in which organisms interact with each other?
14. Is there a difference between interactions between members of the same species versus different?
15. Why is nature often a very nasty place?
16. Why do organisms cooperate with each other?
17. Why are there more plants than animals?
18. What actually keeps ecosystems going? How do ecosystems work?

26. What are genes and how do they work in conjunction with the environment?
27. Where do new traits come from?
28. How are species often so well adapted to their environments?
29. Why do organisms display behaviors? Different behaviors?
30. Why do species change over time?
31. Do different species affect each other’s evolution?
32. What evolves?
33. Are humans subject to evolutionary change in the same way as other organisms?

I recognize that if one were to write a list of contemporary “big questions” in ecology and evolution, there would be a lot of additional questions to add to this list. But my goal is not to capture the big questions of now: I want to create a comprehensive list of the questions that led to the formation of these scientific fields.

Feel free to comment on these “foundational questions”:

• Are these questions well-phrased and clear?
• Is this a complete list? Are there any critical questions missing?
• Do any of these questions seem superfluous?
• Is the order of the list logical?

Below is a list of some of the sources that I used to come up with these questions:

envrionment360 “On His Bicentennial, Mr. Darwin’s Questions Endure”
This page has some great commentary on Darwin’s tendency to ask questions about specific observations he made, questions that fall into some of the broad categories of my “foundational questions”. I also really like the “inherent tendency to vary” quote as it relates to the question of the diversity we observe in nature: being a keen observer of this diversity will be a key characteristic of WmD.

Ernst Mayr’s The Growth of Biological ThoughtMayr asserts that Darwin’s central questions were “Can species change, and can one species be transmuted into another?”.

Macroevolution.net “Alfred Russel Wallace”
This brief biography of Wallace discusses his “why do some die and some live?” question that was inspired in part by his malarial delirium.

UCLA Newsroom “Stepping out of Darwin’s shadow”
This page discusses some of Wallace’s important questions that relate to biogeography: why organisms exist in particular locations, and why species vary in abundance in different locations.

Natural History Museum London “Darwin’s questions on caterpillar colouring”
I like this page just because it highlights that Darwin was not above asking Wallace a question related to the evolution of organisms (in this case butterflies).

Thomas N. Sherratt and David M. Wilkinson Big Questions in Ecology and EvolutionThis book contains a bunch of nicely-phrased questions that inspired some of my questions above, including the “why the world is green” question of Hairston, Smith, and Slobodkin and questions such as why species exist and why the tropics are more diverse. In particular it looks at the question of chaos, which inspired my question on randomness.

Journal of Ecology “Identification of 100 fundamental ecological questions”
Although these questions are by-and-large a lot more specific — and wonky! — than mine, it was important to see to what degree my questions encompassed these. A lot of these are about human impacts, an area that I will not approach until later in the WmD Project.

linear and nonlinear ODEs

In essence, linear ODEs can be represented by dx_i/dt = matrix * X

nonlinear ODEs
http://eqworld.ipmnet.ru/en/solutions/ode/ode-toc3.htm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_differential_equation

*** Control systems engineering, control theory, Laplace transform, observability,

A control system has an input, a process, and an output. It can be open loop or closed loop. Open loop systems do not monitor or correct the output. Closed loop systems can monitor output and make adjustments.

linear time-invariant differential equation

Transfer function is another way of mathematically modeling a system.  Transfer function can be derived from the linear, time-invariant differential equation using Laplace transform. Transfer function can only be used for linear systems. (Lapalace transformation was developed as a technique to solve differential equations).

State-space representation is another model for systems and is suitable for non-linear systems.
Essentially, state-space model change nth-order differential equation into n simultaneous first-order equations. It seems to me that the state-space model is the mostly used ODE modeling methods in systems biology.

Test signals with different waveforms can be used to study systems.

The basic analysis of a system is to evaluate the time response of a system.

A sensitivity analysis can yield the percentage of change in a specification as a function of a change in a system parameter.

In biology, many ODEs has nonlinear terms with product of variables. So, transfer function cannot be applied, but state-space method can be used.

Controllability and Observability are well understood in continuous time-invariant linear state-space model, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-space_representation#State_variables 

Stability: a system is stable if every bounded input yields a bounded output. So, does aging changes a stable gene network into an unstable network?

Observability: If the initial state vector x(t0) can be found from input u(t) and output y(t) over a finite interval of time from t0, the system is observable; otherwise it is unobservable. 
Observability is the ability to deduce state variables from knowledge of input u(t) and output y(t).

1a) DE gene lists for RNAseq project
TODO: there are various time points between control and treatment. Should we use the consensus DEG list?

It seems that "GeneID" in BGI report are from NCBI. Example of 57573 is

and 

http://pantherdb.org/genes/gene.jsp?acc=HUMAN|HGNC=23226|UniProtKB=Q9BX82&showAllAlt=yes

So, "Gene ID" is a standard NCBI number.

1b) Pathway analysis plan for DE gene lists
TODO: There are different sources of human gene/protein networks. We should try several for comparisons.
TODO: We should try different clustering method, such as hlcust, mcl, etc (refer to Qin's previous paper for clustering analysis).

2) time-lapsed image analysis for yeast replicative lifespan
   We can use ImageJ, MATlab or R.

Convert p-value of differential expression into Z-scores based using inverse Gaussian CDF.

Maybe because Ideker02 is looking for 'active subnetwork', only positive Z-score were used. No, both positive and negative Z-score were calculated.
Ideker02 seems to combine K-means and simulated annealing for network clustering.

From Ma, 2007 Bioinformatics CGI paper:

Gene expression data and protein interaction data have been
integrated for gene function prediction. For example, Ideker
et al. (2002) used protein interaction data and gene expression
data to screen for differentially expressed subnetworks between
different conditions. In Tornow and Mewes (2003) and Segal
et al. (2003), gene expression data and protein interactions are
used to group genes into functional modules. These methods provide
insights into the regulatory modules of the whole networks at
the systems biology level. However, it is not clear how to adapt their
methods to identify genes contributing to the phenotype of interest.
Morrison et al. (2005) adapted the Google search engine to prioritize
genes for a phenotype by integrating gene expression profiles
and protein interaction data. However, the algorithm ignores the
information from proteins linked to the target protein through other
intermediate proteins, referred to in the rest of this paper as indirect
neighbors.

Qin: Did the previous methods use human pathogenic genes? Seems not if they did not cite dbSNP or OMIM.
