Input Data of Biological Problems
I am a newbie in bioinformatics and am coming from computer science angle, where developing models/algorithms/programs to solve biological problem is our focus. I want to ask if there is any data input to programs apart from DNA and Protein sequence, especially in developing Gene Regulatory Network or any Biological Process Network

Have a look at microarray and/or RNAseq datasets (e.g., via GEO). You can then extract expression covariation metrics and construct convenient networks (biological process networks would likely be subnetworks thereof). Those types of datasets would also allow construction of regulatory networks, depending on the dataset. -
Thanks, I will look into it. More Grace.........Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
