Excerpt

Allergen inhalation challenge causes significant changes in the blood transcriptomes of mild atopic asthmatic individuals [1]. Systems biology approaches have been used to identify transcriptional networks that reflect underlying disease processes. Such networks provide insights into the correlation patterns among genes and may identify specific molecular processes associated with asthmatic responses. Transcriptional networks can be identified using blood expression data and are associated with allergen-induced asthmatic responses. …
