Abstract

The Systems Biology is an interdisciplinary research field which studies the complex interactions that occur between biological compounds of a living organism in order to understand their behavior, which emerges from these interactions. Such interactions compose a highly complex network, whose elements can be of several types. In this context, complex diseases are characterized precisely by being of polygenic and multifactorial nature, i.e., the genesis and development of these diseases are a result of the joint interaction of several factors, including not only genes, proteins and other molecules, but also epigenetic and environmental factors. It is noteworthy the importance of developing methods that integrate data of various types, such as genetic alterations (Single Nucleotice Polymorphism (SNP), Copy Number Variation (CNV)), transcriptome and PPI (Protein-Protein Interaction), for the study of these diseases. Several methods of data integration have been developed for complex disease studies, especially for biological signatures identification (candidate genes associated with a particular disease). However, the gene lists obtained from different studies related to the same complex disease tend to present very small convergence. Thus, the comparison of these methods is a crucial issue. The main goal of this project is to conduct an extensive literature review ontechniques for gene prioritization associated to complex diseases and to propose a methodology for methods comparison generic enough to evaluate the results of these methods applied to any complex disease. This project intends to focus on studies of neurodevelopment disorders, such as schizophrenia, autism and ADHD. (AU)
