Download or read book Computational Modeling of Gene Regulatory Networks written by Hamid Bolouri and published by Imperial College Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as an introduction to the myriad computational approaches to gene regulatory modeling and analysis, and is written specifically with experimental biologists in mind. Mathematical jargon is avoided and explanations are given in intuitive terms. In cases where equations are unavoidable, they are derived from first principles or, at the very least, an intuitive description is provided. Extensive examples and a large number of model descriptions are provided for use in both classroom exercises as well as self-guided exploration and learning. As such, the book is ideal for self-learning and also as the basis of a semester-long course for undergraduate and graduate students in molecular biology, bioengineering, genome sciences, or systems biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to describe the dynamic behavior of gene regulatory networks different formalisms have been introduced. In this thesis, we describe first the discrete approach of René Thomas and piecewise linear differential equations approach. Then we proposed a correspondence result between the two approaches and based on it we proposed an automatic computational technique to understand the global behavior of such complex systems using MAPLE programming language. The proposed code provides a way to compute the trajectories of the discrete version of a gene regulatory network model given an initial condition, in the same way as usual numerical algorithms give the "true" solution of a differential model from an initial condition. Knowing a discrete trajectory is less precise than knowing a true trajectory but correspondence theorems shows the link between the two approaches. Hence, it is a mathematical tool for analysing gene regulatory networks models. Finally, we illustrate both discrete and piecewise linear approaches, theircorrespondence and the use of our Maple code on a specific example: a mathematical model of the circadian clock. Our first two presented 8 and 4 variables models are the simplification of a model proposed by Leloup and Goldbeter. We deliberately choose to push the simplicity of the model as far as possible, focusing only on a few biological behaviors of interest. The hope is to get nevertheless the essential abstract causalities that govern these behaviors.
Download or read book Simple Mathematical Models of Gene Regulatory Dynamics written by Michael C. Mackey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a short and self-contained introduction to the field of mathematical modeling of gene-networks in bacteria. As an entry point to the field, we focus on the analysis of simple gene-network dynamics. The notes commence with an introduction to the deterministic modeling of gene-networks, with extensive reference to applicable results coming from dynamical systems theory. The second part of the notes treats extensively several approaches to the study of gene-network dynamics in the presence of noise—either arising from low numbers of molecules involved, or due to noise external to the regulatory process. The third and final part of the notes gives a detailed treatment of three well studied and concrete examples of gene-network dynamics by considering the lactose operon, the tryptophan operon, and the lysis-lysogeny switch. The notes contain an index for easy location of particular topics as well as an extensive bibliography of the current literature. The target audience of these notes are mainly graduates students and young researchers with a solid mathematical background (calculus, ordinary differential equations, and probability theory at a minimum), as well as with basic notions of biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology. They are meant to serve as a readable and brief entry point into a field that is currently highly active, and will allow the reader to grasp the current state of research and so prepare them for defining and tackling new research problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical and statistical network modeling is an important step toward uncovering the organizational principles and dynamic behavior of biological networks. This chapter focuses on methods to construct discrete dynamic models of gene regulatory networks from experimental data sets, also sometimes referred to as top-down modeling or reverse engineering. Time-discrete dynamical systems models have long been used in biology, particularly in population dynamics. The models mainly focused on here are also assumed to have a finite set of possible states for each variable. That is, the modeling framework discussed in this chapter is that of time-discrete dynamical systems over a finite state set.

This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to better understand how lifestyle modulations can effectively halt the emergence and progression of human diseases. The book will allow the reader to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which the environment interferes with the bio-molecular regulatory processes underlying the emergence and progression of complex diseases, such as cancer. Focusing on key and early cellular bio-molecular events giving rise to the emergence of degenerative chronic disease, it builds on previous experience on the development of multi-cellular organisms, to propose a mathematical and computer based framework that allows the reader to analyze the complex interplay between bio-molecular processes and the (micro)-environment from an integrative, mechanistic, quantitative and dynamical perspective. Taking the wealth of empirical evidence that exists it will show how to build and analyze models of core regulatory networks involved in the emergence and progression of chronic degenerative diseases, using a bottom-up approach.
Download or read book Analysis of Deterministic Cyclic Gene Regulatory Network Models with Delays written by Mehmet Eren Ahsen and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief examines a deterministic, ODE-based model for gene regulatory networks (GRN) that incorporates nonlinearities and time-delayed feedback. An introductory chapter provides some insights into molecular biology and GRNs. The mathematical tools necessary for studying the GRN model are then reviewed, in particular Hill functions and Schwarzian derivatives. One chapter is devoted to the analysis of GRNs under negative feedback with time delays and a special case of a homogenous GRN is considered. Asymptotic stability analysis of GRNs under positive feedback is then considered in a separate chapter, in which conditions leading to bi-stability are derived. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students and researchers in control engineering, applied mathematics, systems biology and synthetic biology will find this brief to be a clear and concise introduction to the modeling and analysis of GRNs.
