本課程介紹近代生物學上需要提出重要問題的數學模型方法。包含應用於分子生物學和遺傳學,細胞生物學及發育生物學上的數學模型方法概述。同時,亦會討論能驗證數學模型的重要實驗,同時也討論分子生物學、細胞生物學、發育系統生物學、細菌趨化性、基因震盪器、控制理論、基因網路和梯度感應系統等。外加的特定題目尚有:建構基因網路的模型、以λ嗜菌體作為基因開關、合成基因開關、日夜節律、反應擴散方程式、局部活化和整體抑制模型、中心尋找網路、整體型式生成模型、細胞間訊息互換的建模、數量感應,最後也將探討果蠅的發育模型。
This course introduces the mathematical modeling techniques needed to address key questions in modern biology. An overview of modeling techniques in molecular biology and genetics, cell biology and developmental biology is covered. Key experiments that validate mathematical models are also discussed, as well as molecular, cellular, and developmental systems biology, bacterial chemotaxis, genetic oscillators, control theory and genetic networks, and gradient sensing systems. Additional specific topics include: constructing and modeling of genetic networks, lambda phage as a genetic switch, synthetic genetic switches, circadian rhythms, reaction diffusion equations, local activation and global inhibition models, center finding networks, general pattern formation models, modeling cell-cell communication, quorum sensing, and finally, models for Drosophila development.
