Abstract

Systems and Synthetic Biology use computational models of biological pathways in order to study in silico the behaviour of biological pathways. Mathematical models allow to verify biological hypotheses and to predict new possible dynamical behaviours. Here we use the tools of non-linear analysis to understand how to change the dynamics of the genes composing a novel synthetic network recently constructed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for In-vivo Reverse-engineering and Modelling Assessment (IRMA). Guided by previous theoretical results that make the dynamics of a biological network depend on its topological properties, through the use of simulation and continuation techniques, we found that the network can be easily turned into a robust and tunable synthetic oscillator or a bistable switch. Our results provide guidelines to properly re-engineering in vivo the network in order to tune its dynamics.

摘要

系统与合成生物学使用生物途径的计算模型来对生物途径的行为进行计算机模拟研究。数学模型可以验证生物学假说,并预测新的可能的动态行为。在这里,我们使用非线性分析的工具来理解如何改变最近在酵母酿酒酵母中构建的新型合成网络的基因动力学,该网络用于体内反向工程和建模评估(IRMA)。基于先前的理论结果,这些结果使生物网络的动态取决于其拓扑特性,通过使用模拟和延续技术,我们发现该网络可以很容易地变成一个稳健且可调谐的合成振荡器或双稳态开关。我们的研究结果为适当地在体内重新设计网络以调整其动力学提供了指导。
