Analysis of gene regulatory networks provides enormous information on various fundamental cellular processes involving growth, development, hormone secretion and cellular communication. Their extraction from available gene expression profiles is a challenging problem. Such reverse engineering of genetic networks offers insight into cellular activity, and towards prediction of adverse effects of new drugs or possible identification of new drug targets. Tasks like classification, clustering and feature selection enable efficient mining of knowledge about gene interactions in the form of networks. It is known that biological data is prone to different kinds of noise and ambiguity. Soft computing tools like fuzzy sets, evolutionary strategies and neurocomputing have been found to help in providing low cost, acceptable solutions in the presence of various types of uncertainties. In this article we survey the role of these soft methodologies and their hybridizations, for the purpose of generating genetic networks.
