AbstractThe logical formalism is well adapted to model large cellular networks, for which detailed kinetic data are scarce. This tutorial focuses on this well-established qualitative framework. Relying on GINsim (release 3.0), a software implementing this formalism, we guide the reader step by step towards the definition, the analysis and the simulation of a four-node model of the mammalian p53-Mdm2 network.

The idea of constraint-based modeling in systems biology is to describe a biological system by a set of constraints, i.e., by pieces of partial information about its structure and dynamics. Using constraint-based reasoning one may then draw conclusions about the possible system behaviors.In this talk, we will focus on constraint-based modeling techniques for regulatory networks starting from the discrete logical formalism of René Thomas. In this framework, logic and constraints arise at two different levels. On the one hand, Boolean or multi-valued logic formulae provide a natural way to represent the structure of a regulatory network, which is given by positive and negative interactions (i.e., activation and inhibition) between the network components. On the other hand, temporal logic formulae (e.g. CTL) may be used to reason about the dynamics of the system, represented by a state transition graph or Kripke model.

Cellular responses are governed by regulatory networks subject to external signals from surrounding cells and to other micro-environmental cues. The logical (Boolean or multi-valued)  framework proved well suited to study such processes at the cellular level, by specifying qualitative models of involved signalling pathways and gene regulatory networks.  Here, we describe and illustrate the main features of EpiLog, a computational tool that implements an extension of the logical framework to the tissue level. EpiLog defines a collection of hexagonal cells over a 2D grid, which embodies a mono-layer epithelium. Basically, it defines a cellular automaton in which cell behaviours are driven by associated logical models subject to external signals.  EpiLog is freely available on the web at http://epilog-tool.org. It is implemented in Java (version ≥1.7 required) and the source code is provided at https://github.com/epilog-tool/epilog under a GNU General Public License v3.0.

Gene regulatory networks are graphical representations of molecular regulators that interact with each other and with other substances in the cell to govern the gene expression. There are different computational approaches for the reverse engineering of these networks. Most of them require all gene-gene evaluations using different mathematical methods such as Pearson/Spearman correlation, Mutual Information or topology patterns, among others. The Algorithm for the Reconstruction of Accurate Cellular Networks (ARACNe) is one of the most effective and widely used tools to reconstruct gene regulatory networks. However, the high computational cost of ARACNe prevents its use over large biologic datasets. In this work, we present a hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallel implementation of ARACNe to accelerate its execution on multi-core clusters, obtaining a speedup of 430.46 using as input a dataset with 41,100 genes and 108 samples and 32 nodes (each of them with 24 cores).
