Abstract We develop an approach utilizing randomized genotypes to rigorously infer causal regulatory relationships among genes at the transcriptional level based on experiments in which genotyping and expression profiling are performed. This approach can be used to build transcriptional regulatory networks and to identify putative regulators of genes. We apply the method to an experiment in yeast in which genes known to be in the same processes and functions are recovered in the resulting transcriptional regulatory network. Background It is now possible to measure DNA variation RNA expression levels and protein expression levels from thousands of genes in a given biologic sample 1-3 . Of great interest is inferring the wiring diagram or the way in which many genes regulate one another and interact from these sources of high-throughput data 4 5 . However this goal is complicated by the fact that RNA levels protein levels phenotypes and environmental conditions may all affect .
