2. François Fages FJCP 2005 Systems Biology ? Multidisciplinary field aiming at getting over the complexity walls to reason about biological processes at the system level. Virtual cell: emulate high-level biological processes in terms of their biochemical basis at the molecular level (in silico experiments) Bioinformatics: end 90’s, genomic sequences  post-genomic data (RNA expression, protein synthesis, protein-protein interactions,… ) Need for a strong effort on: - the formal representation of biological processes, - formal tools for modeling and reasoning about their global behavior.

22. François Fages FJCP 2005 Traces from Numerical Simulation From a system of Ordinary Differential Equations dX/dt = f(X) Numerical integration produces a discretization of time (adaptive step size Runge-Kutta and Rosenbrock method for stiff systems) The trace is a linear Kripke structure: (t 0,X 0 ), (t 1,X 1 ), …, (t n,X n )… the derivatives can be added to the trace (t 0,X 0,dX 0 /dt), (t 1,X 1,dX 1 /dt), …, (t n,X n,dX n /dt)… Equality x=v true if x i ≤v & x i+1 ≥ v or if x i ≥ v & x i+1 ≤v

24. François Fages FJCP 2005 Learning Reaction Rules from CTL Specification The biological properties of the system are added as CTL formulas biocham: add_spec({reachable(MPF),checkpoint(cdc25C~{p1,p2},MPF),...}). Suppose that the MPF activation rule is missing in the model biocham: delete_rule(MPF~{p}=[cdc25C~{p1,p2}]=>MPF). biocham: check_all. The specification is not satisfied. This formula is the first not verified: Ei(EF(MPF)) Rules can be searched to correct the model w.r.t. specification: biocham: learn_one_rule(all_elementary_interaction_rules). Possible rules to be added: 3 _=[cdc25C~{p1,p2}]=>MPF MPF~{p}=[cdc25C~{p1,p2}]=>MPF CKI+MPF~{p}=[cdc25C~{p1,p2}]=>CKI-MPF

25. François Fages FJCP 2005 Learning Reaction Rules from CTL Specification Example: finding an intermediary step between MPF and APC activation biocham: absent(X). add_rule(_=>X). add_rule(X=>_). biocham: add_specs({ Ei(reachable(X)), Ai(oscil(X)), Ai(AG(!APC->checkpoint(X,APC))), Ai(AG(!X->checkpoint(MPF,X))) }). biocham: check_all. The specification is not satisfied. This formula is the first not verified: Ai(AG(!APC->!(E(!X U APC)))) Biocham searches for revisions of the model satisfying the specification biocham: revise_model. Deletion(s): _=[MPF]=>APC. _=>X. Addition(s): _=[X]=>APC. _=[MPF]=>X.

26. François Fages FJCP 2005 Conclusion The biochemical abstract machine BIOCHAM implements: A simple rule-based language for modeling biochemical processes with three abstraction levels: Boolean semantics: presence/absence of molecules Molecule Concentration semantics (ODE) Molecule Population semantics (stochastic) A powerful temporal logic language for formalizing biological properties CTL (implemented with NuSMV model checker) Constraint LTL (implemented in Prolog) Machine learning techniques Reaction rule discovery from CTL specification Parameter estimation from constraint LTL specification Issue of compositionality: model reuse in different contexts Issue of abstraction/refinement: model simplification/decomposition
