BNFinder - Bayesian Network Finder

BNF toolbox allows for Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) reconstruction. It is written in python, and distributed under GNU GPL Library version 2.

The software itself can be downloaded from here. (it requires python version > 2.4, please see the installation istruction).

Supplementary documentation:

If you do not want to install the software, try our Web interface. In order to test it, you only need to provide an input file containing expression time-series (example file) and your e-mail address. The resulting network (in a SIF format readable by Cytoscape) will be sent to your e-mail address.

The input format is very simple. We will explain it by example:

genes\time	serie1:1	serie1:2	serie2:1	serie2:2
Gene1		0		1		1		0
Gene2		0		2		1		2

The first row contains the labels of time points. Each label is of the form series_id:time, which allows for inserting more than one series in a file. Each of the following rows describes the expression profile of one gene. The first column contains the gene name and the following values correspond to the discretized expression of this gene in all time-points.
