Abstract As genome-scale measurements lead to increasingly complex models of gene regulation systematic approaches are needed to validate and refine these models. Towards this goal we describe an automated procedure for prioritizing genetic perturbations in order to discriminate optimally between alternative models of a gene-regulatory network. Using this procedure we evaluate 38 candidate regulatory networks in yeast and perform four high-priority gene knockout experiments. The refined networks support previously unknown regulatory mechanisms downstream of SOK2 and SWI4. Background Recent advances in genomics and computational biology are enabling construction of large-scale models of gene-regulatory networks. High-throughput technologies .
