Introduction:

CMI2NI is a software for inferring gene regulatory networks from gene expression data. It is a novel method using a new proposed concept of Conditional Mutual Inclusive Information (CMI2) which can accurately measure direct dependences between genes. Given the small size samples of gene expression data, CMI2NI can not only infer the correct topology of the regulation networks but also accurately quantify the dependence or regulation strength between genes. CMI2NI provides a useful tool to infer gene regulatory networks.
