Abstract

Gene coexpression patterns carry rich information of complex brain structures and functions. Characterization of these patterns in an unbiased and integrated manner will illuminate the higher order transcriptome organization and offer molecular foundations of functional circuitry. Here we demonstrate a data-driven method that can effectively extract coexpression networks from transcriptome profiles using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas dataset. For each of the obtained networks,both genetic compositions and spatial distributions in brain volume are learned. A simultaneous knowledge of precise spatial distributions of specific gene as well as the networks the gene plays in and the weights it carries can bring insights into the molecular mechanism of brain formation and functions. Gene ontologies and the comparisons with published data reveal interesting functions of the identified coexpression networks,including major cell types,biological functions,brain regions,and/or brain diseases.
