    Increasing evidence has been gathered for p53-dependent apoptosis, but it is still unclear how p53 initiates apoptosis by employing its transcriptional program. Pair-wise interactions of p53 with expression of other genes fail to predict p53 levels or rate of apoptosis. A more sophisticated approach, using neural networks, permits prediction of interaction among three or more genes (p53, bax, and ING1). These interactions are decidedly nonlinear. Careful measurements and advanced mathematical treatments will permit us not only to understand how expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic genes is regulated, but also to integrate cross-platform and cross-experimental data for the validation of predicted interactions.
