Abstract

We propose a new methodology for identification and analysis of discrete gene networks as defined by René Thomas, supported by a tool chain: (i) given a Thomas network with partially known kinetic parameters, we reduce the number of acceptable parametrizations to those that fit time-series measurements and reflect other known constraints by an improved technique of coloured LTL model checking performing efficiently on Thomas networks in distributed environment; (ii) we introduce classification of acceptable parametrizations to identify most optimal ones; (iii) we propose two ways of visualising parametrizations dynamics wrt time-series data. Finally, computational efficiency is evaluated and the methodology is validated on bacteriophage λ case study.
