One of the central challenges of modern biology is to understand the dynamic architecture of gene regulatory networks. To address this problem, we introduce a framework for large-scale nonlinear system identification derived from kernel learning theory. The proposed inference technique is based on a nonparametric differential equation model of mRNA transcription and has been used to successfully reverse engineer a diverse class of synthetic gene regulatory networks. For synthetic networks, we derive estimates for both the time scale of mRNA degradation as well as the post-transcriptional time delay related to protein synthesis and activation.
