TimeXNet Web - Identify active gene networks and pathways using time-course biological data

TimeXNet Tutorial

  1. Enter a name for the analysis run.

  2. Select the species from the available options based on the genomes in Ensembl.

  3. Select the format of gene/protein values from the available options based on formats supported by UniProt. This identifier format is later used for comparison with the format of input network.

  4. Specify the time-course fold change data as a matrix of values or as three groups of genes partitioned by their time of highest fold change and scored as per their fold change values.

  5. The TimeXNet algorithm requires an interaction network containing at least 50% of the genes from the above-mentioned high-throughput time-course dataset. Specify a format for the genes within the interaction network and upload a list of interactions with weighted edges, or select a network provided by the HitPredict database.

  6. Enter the parameters used to run the flow optimization that predict the active gene network. These parameters are real positive values that affect the number of early and intermediate genes/proteins that are included in the network. The number of early and intermediate genes/proteins increases with the value of these parameters.

  7. Enter your email (optional, but recommended so we can send you an email when your results are ready).

  8. Run TimeXNet!

  9. Wait! TimeXNet runs the minimum cost flow optimization algorithm to find the most reliable interactions connecting the genes showing high fold changes such that genes activated at early time points connect to those activated at intermediate time points, and subsequently to the late effector genes. This problem is solved using linear programming.
    On average, TimeXNet Web requires 3-5 minutes to predict one response network from an input network of approximately 130,000 edges and an input list of approximately 1600 genes/proteins. The run-time increases with the size of the input network and the number of input genes.

  10. Done! Let’s take a look at the results. Confirm the input values.

  11. Download the output files with the predicted response network containing interactions and their flows, and nodes and their flows. Flows correspond to scores within the predicted network and a higher flow indicates more connectivity with other genes of interest.

  12. Save the entire network in Cytoscape format along with the edge and node annotation files. Load them directly into Cytoscape and see the full network.

  13. Look at the genes selected by TimeXNet and their associated network. Which genes have the highest flows? Which are the predicted genes connecting the genes with high fold changes? Search for a particular gene to see its network and connections.

  14. Take a look at the gene network. Genes are grouped by their time of fold change and shown in different colors. The genes predicted to be functionally important are shown in blue. You can increase the number of nodes in the network and save the network image for later use.


  15. Perform functional enrichment analysis using DAVID from the links on the Results page or the “Analyze” button on the gene network.
    The enrichment analysis can be performed using the input network or the whole genome as the background. In networks that require conversion from gene names or Ensembl Protein IDs to UniProt IDs, TimeXNet Web may be slow due to the excess time required for format conversion, since the DAVID web service does not allow these two formats as input. Additionally, our testing shows that the DAIVD web service requires a longer time to return enrichment analysis results when a background gene list is provided.

  16. Run KEGG pathway enrichment to visualize the genes predicted by TimeXNet in KEGG pathways. Genes are colored by their normalized flows predicted by TimeXNet. Visualization is done using Pathview. The pathway graph may take some time to generate.

  17. Run Gene Ontology term enrichment analysis to find the functional terms enriched in genes identified by TimeXNet.
