Methods for identifying a modulator of angiogenesis and methods for modulating angiogenesis in a mammalian subject are described herein. In some embodiments, the methods include obtaining data sets from a model for angiogenesis and generating a causal relationship network model based on the obtained data. In some embodiments, the methods include identifying, from the causal relationship network model, a causal relationship unique in angiogenesis, where a gene, lipid, protein, metabolite, transcript, or SNP associated with the unique causal relationship is identified as a modulator of angiogenesis.

Interrogatory cell-based assays and uses thereof

Described herein are methods for identifying a modulator of a biological system. Some methods include establishing a model for the biological system comprising cells, obtaining a first data set representing global proteomic in the cells, and obtaining a second data set representing one or more functional activities or cellular responses of the cells including global enzymatic activity and/or an effect of the global enzyme activity on the enzyme metabolites or substrates in the cells. The method also includes generating a consensus causal relationship network among the global proteomic changes and the one or more functional activities or cellular responses based solely on the first and second data sets using a programmed computing device, and identifying a causal relationship unique in the biological system from the consensus causal relationship network, wherein at least one enzyme associated with the unique causal relationship is identified as a modulator of the biological system.
