We will discuss about “TimeCycle: Topology Inspired MEthod for the Detection of Cycling Transcripts in Circadian Time-Series Data”, Ness-Cohn and Braun, Bioinformatics, 2021 Abstract Motivation: The circadian rhythm drives the oscillatory expression of thousands of genes across all tissues. The recent revolution in high-throughput transcriptomics, coupled with the significant implicatins of the circadian clock for …

We will discuss about "Cellular signaling beyond the Wiener-Kolmogorov limit", Weisenberger et al., bioRxiv, 2021 Abstract: Accurate propagation of signals through stochastic biochemical networks involves significant expenditure of cellular resources. The same is true for regulatory mechanisms that suppress fluctuations in biomolecular populations. Wiener-Kolmogorov (WK) optimal noise filter theory, originally developed for engineering problems, has …

We will discuss about "Machine learning of stochastic gene network phenotypes", Park et al., bioRxiv, 2019 Abstract: A recurrent challenge in biology is the development of predictive quantitative models because most molecular and cellular parameters have unknown values and realistic models are analytically intractable. While the dynamics of the system can be analyzed via computer …

We will discuss about “Nonlinear delay differential equations and their application to modeling biological network motifs”, Glass et al., Nature Communications, 2021 Abstract: Biological regulatory systems, such as cell signaling networks, nervous systems and ecological webs, consist of complex dynamical interactions among many components. Network motif models focus on small sub-networks to provide quantitative insight …

We will discuss about “The Oscillation Amplitude, Not the Frequency of Cytosolic Calcium, Regulates Apoptosis Induction ”, Qi et al., iScience, 2020 Abstract: Although a rising concentration of cytosolic Ca2+ has long been recognized as an essential signal for apoptosis, the dynamical mechanisms by which Ca2+ regulates apoptosis are not clear yet. To address this, we constructed …

We will discuss about “A spatio-temporal model to reveal oscillator phenotypes in molecular clocks: Parameter estimation elucidates circadian gene transcription dynamics in single-cells”, Unosson et al., bioRxiv, 2021 We propose a stochastic distributed delay model together with a Markov random field prior and a measurement model for bioluminescence-reporting to analyse spatiotemporal gene expression in intact …
