  ABSTRACT: In Systems Biology, system identification, which infers regulatory network in genetic system and metabolic pathways using experimentally observed time-course data, is one of the hottest issues. The efficient numerical optimization algorithm to estimate more than 100 real-coded parameters should be developed for this purpose. New real-coded genetic algorithm (RCGA), the combination of AREX (adaptive real-coded ensemble crossover) with JGG (just generation gap), have applied to the inference of genetic interactions involving more than 100 parameters related to the interactions with using experimentally observed time-course data. Compared with conventional RCGA, the combination of UNDX (unimodal normal distribution crossover) with MGG (minimal generation gap), new algorithm has shown the superiority with improving early convergence in the first stage of search and suppressing evolutionary stagnation in the last stage of search.
