A System Biology Approach for the Steady-State Analysis of Gene Signaling Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The existing approaches used to identify the relevant pathways in a given condition do not consider a number of important biological factors such as magnitude of each gene’s expression change, their position and interactions in the given pathways, etc. Recently, an impact analysis approach was proposed that considers these crucial biological factors to analyze regulatory pathways at systems biology level. This approach calculates perturbations induced by each gene in a pathway, and propagates them through the entire pathway to compute an impact factor for the given pathway. Here we propose an alternative approach that uses a linear system to compute the impact factor. Our proposed approach eliminates the possible stability problems when the perturbations are propagated through a pathway that contains positive feedback loops. Additionally, the proposed approach is able to consider the type of genes when calculating the impact factors.

Steady Flow Analysis and Modeling of the Gas Distribution Network Using the Electrical Analogy (RESEARCH NOTE)
The mathematical modeling of a gas network is a powerful tool in order to identify the behavior of system under the different conditions. The modeling can be performed both for the steady state and unsteady state conditions. It is possible to use the fluid flow basic governing equations or the electrical analogy concept for developing the model. The second approach provides a simpler and more r...

Due to the importance of longest path analysis in networks of queues, we develop an analytical method for computing the steady-state distribution function of longest path in acyclic networks of queues. We assume the network consists of a number of queuing systems and each one has either one or infinite servers. The distribution function of service time is assumed to be exponential or Erlang. Fu...
