4 4 / 51 Formal Models in Bioinformatics What is systems biology? Systems biology is the study of all the elements in a biological system (all genes, mrnas, proteins, etc) and their relationships one to another in response to perturbations. Systems approaches attempt to study the behaviour of all the elements in a system and relate these behaviours to the systems or emergent properties.

7 7 / 51 Formal Models in Bioinformatics What is systems biology?...systematic study of complex interactions in biological systems, thus using a new perspective (integration instead of reduction) to study them... one of the goals of systems biology is to discover new emergent properties (Wikipedia) Systems biology is the study of an organism, viewed as an integrated and interacting network of genes, proteins and biochemical reactions... systems biologists focus on all the components and the interactions among them, all as part of one system (Institute for Systems Biology, Washington) To understand complex biological systems requires the integration of experimental and computational research in other words a systems biology approach (Kitano, 2002)

A chemist perspective: Dissolve the cow in H 2 SO 4, weight the result and measure the volume. Sometimes it is important not to destroy the cow. An engineering perspective: Immerse the cow in a tank of water and measure the volume. Some cows cannot swim. Water pressure might change volume.

18 16 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Early attempts to make use of mathematics in biology Leonardo de Pisa or Fibonacci (1202) At month 0 there is a pair of rabbits (one female and one male). Every pair of rabbits (one female and one male) can mate at the age of one month. The female rabbit always produces a new pair of rabbits (one female and one male) every month from the second month on. As there is no death, all rabbits survive. What is the number of pairs of rabbits in month n?

20 Modelling the time evolution of a population Leonardo de Pisa or Fibonacci (1202) At month 0 there is a pair of rabbits (one female and one male). Every pair of rabbits (one female and one male) can mate at the age of one month. The female rabbit always produces a new pair of rabbits (one female and one male) every month from the second month on. As there is no death, all rabbits survive. The number of pairs in month n, R n, satisfies: R 0 = 1 R 1 = 1 R 2 = = 2 R 3 = = 3 R 4 = = 5 R n+1 = R n + R n 1 R 5 = = 8 18 / 51

21 19 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic modelling Let N(t) be the population of those penguins at time t. N(t) is the number of individuals in the population at time t. The change in the number of penguins in a small time interval, from t to t + t, is given by: N(t + ) = N(t) + births deaths + migration This equation is a conservation equation for the number of individuals of the population. The form of the various terms on the right-hand-side requires essential feedback from biologists.

22 20 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic birth process Let us assume that: There are no death events in the population. There are only birth events in the population. The birth rate (number of births per unit of time), b, is the same for all individuals of the population. We have: N(t + t) = N(t) + births

23 21 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic birth process Change in the population is due to birth events. The births in the time interval [t, t + t] due to a single individual is b t.

24 21 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic birth process Change in the population is due to birth events. The births in the time interval [t, t + t] due to a single individual is b t. The births in the time interval [t, t + t] due to all individuals is N(t)b t.

25 21 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic birth process Change in the population is due to birth events. The births in the time interval [t, t + t] due to a single individual is b t. The births in the time interval [t, t + t] due to all individuals is N(t)b t. N(t + t) N(t) N(t + t) = N(t)+N(t)b t = = bn(t) t

26 21 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic birth process Change in the population is due to birth events. The births in the time interval [t, t + t] due to a single individual is b t. The births in the time interval [t, t + t] due to all individuals is N(t)b t. N(t + t) N(t) N(t + t) = N(t)+N(t)b t = = bn(t) t For a very small time interval, t 0, N(t + t) N(t) lim = dn(t) = bn(t) t 0 t dt This equation can be easily solved by integration.

27 22 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic birth process N(t): Number of individuals at time t dn(t) = bn(t) dt If the population at time t = t 0 is given by N 0, we have: N(t) = N 0 e b(t t 0) In a deterministic birth process the population size is predicted at time t with absolute certainty, once the initial size N 0 and birth rate b are given. The population size N(t) and time t are both continuous variables (both take real values) and not discrete (take integer values).

28 22 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Deterministic birth process N(t): Number of individuals at time t dn(t) = bn(t) dt If the population at time t = t 0 is given by N 0, we have: N(t) = N 0 e b(t t 0) In a deterministic birth process the population size is predicted at time t with absolute certainty, once the initial size N 0 and birth rate b are given. The population size N(t) and time t are both continuous variables (both take real values) and not discrete (take integer values). Is this a good mathematical population growth model?

29 23 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Stochastic birth process Let X t be the dicrete random variable that describes the number of individuals of the population at time t. The stochastic process that describes the population satisfies: X t {1, 2,...} and t [0, + ) Denote by p n (t) the probability that at time t the size of the population is n, i.e., the probability that at time t there are n individuals in the population: p n (t) = Prob(X t = n)

30 24 / 51 Modelling the time evolution of a population Stochastic birth process Consider a small time interval [t, t + t] How is X t+ t related to X We have the following rules: There are no death events in the population. There are birth events in the population: the probability that a birth takes place in t is b t. The probability of more than one birth in a time interval t is negligible (no twin births allowed).

53 43 / 51 Outline 1 Systems Biology 2 Population Dynamics Example 3 Formal Models 4 Stochasticity

54 44 / 51 Modelling in systems biology Biological evidence of noise Stochasticity is evident in all biological processes the proliferation of both noise and noise reduction systems is a hallmark of organismal evolution Federoff et al.(2002). Transcription in higher eukaryotes occurs with a relatively low frequency in biologic time and is regulated in a probabilistic manner Hume (2000). Gene regulation is a noisy business Mcadams et al. (1999). Initiation of gene transcription is a discrete process in which individual protein-coding genes in an off state can be stochastically switched on, resulting in sporadic pulses of mrna production Sano It is essential to study individual cells and to measure the cell to cell variations in biological response, rather than averaging over cell populations Zatorsky, Rosenfeld et al

55 45 / 51 Modelling in systems biology Origin of Stochasticity Intrinsic noise due to small numbers of molecules (e.g. mrna, DNA loci, TFs). Uncertainty of knowing when a reaction occurs and which reaction it is. Relative statistical uncertainty is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of molecules. Applies equally well to studying channel behaviour via the concept of channel molecules. Extrinsic noise due to (external) environmental effects (extrinsic factors are: stage in cell cycle, number of RNAP or ribosomes, cellular environment).

56 Modelling formalisms Markov chains Based on the concept of state of the system Solution techniques: Enumerative Transient and steady-state analysis Exact and approximate analysis Drawbacks: Low abstraction level Model size equals number of states of the system Only in very particular cases aggregation techniques exist 46 / 51

57 47 / 51 Modelling formalisms Queueing networks High abstraction level The number of states characterizing the system grows exponentially on the model size. Solution techniques: Enumerative (based on Markov chains) Reduction/transformation-based Structurally based (product-form solution, exact) Transient and steady-state analysis Exact, approximate and bounds Drawbacks: Lack of synchronization primitive Extensions exist but destroying analysis possibilities

58 Modelling formalisms Stochastic Petri nets Abstraction level similar to queueing networks With synchronization primitive SPN =Petri nets+ timing interpretation=queueing networks+ synchronizations Wide range of qualitative (logical properties) analysis techniques: Enumerative (based on Markov chains) Reduction/transformation-based Structurally based Petri nets as a formal modelling paradigm a conceptual framework to obtain specific formalisms based on common concepts and principles at different life-cycle phases 48 / 51

59 49 / 51 Modelling formalisms Stochastic Petri nets (cont.) Analysis techniques: Exact: mainly enumerative (based on Markov chains) Bounding techniques (structurally based) Approximation techniques (reduction/transformation) Drawbacks: Lack of a product-form solution for efficient exact analysis in most cases
