复杂生物网络的结构和动力学研究

Study of the structure and dynamics of complex biological networks

Areejit Samal

摘要:

在这篇论文中,我们利用图论、计算生物学和动力系统的工具研究了某些生物网络的大尺度结构和系统级动力学。我们研究了大肠杆菌、酿酒酵母和金黄色葡萄球菌这三种生物体内大规模代谢网络的结构和动力学。我们还研究了控制E.大肠杆菌代谢我们试图解释观察到的系统级动力学性质,这些网络的基础结构。我们对这些大规模生物网络的系统级动力学的研究提供了一个不同的视角,与纯粹的结构研究相比,它们的功能。我们的研究也导致了一些新的见解的功能,如鲁棒性,脆弱性和模块化的这些大规模的生物网络。我们还阐明了细胞内的不同网络,如代谢网络和遗传网络是如何相互关联的。

英文摘要:

In this thesis, we have studied the large scale structure and system level dynamics of certain biological networks using tools from graph theory, computational biology and dynamical systems. We study the structure and dynamics of large scale metabolic networks inside three organisms, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Staphylococcus aureus. We also study the dynamics of the large scale genetic network controlling E. coli metabolism. We have tried to explain the observed system level dynamical properties of these networks in terms of their underlying structure. Our studies of the system level dynamics of these large scale biological networks provide a different perspective on their functioning compared to that obtained from purely structural studies. Our study also leads to some new insights on features such as robustness, fragility and modularity of these large scale biological networks. We also shed light on how different networks inside the cell such as metabolic networks and genetic networks are interrelated to each other.
