Abstract
BACKGROUND: Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) have been previously studied by using Boolean/multi-state logics. While the gene expression values are usually scaled into the range [0, 1], these GRN inference methods apply a threshold to discretize the data, resulting in missing information. Most of studies apply fuzzy logics to infer the logical gene-gene interactions from continuous data. However, all these approaches require an a priori known network structure.
