 Revealing networks of biological components is one of the key questions in 
  
 systems biology, and it has potential applications in understanding disease 
  
 physiology and drug discovery in the area of network medicine. With advances in 
  
 high throughput biology, we can now measure the expression levels and DNA 
  
 variations at the genome level, either through microarrays or next generation 
  
 sequencing. These data offer the opportunity to statistically infer genetic networks 
  
 from these data. In this presentation, we discuss several approaches for network 
  
 inference through jointly analyzing gene expression data under diverse conditions 
  
 in combination of DNA variation data. We provide both theoretical and simulation 
  
 results to investigate the properties of our procedures. We also demonstrate the 
  
 usefulness of our approaches through their applications to real data. This is joint 
  
 work with Hyonho Chun, Bing Li, Ruiyan Luo, Haisu Ma, and Xianghua Zhang.
