“…For gene-mRNA-protein regulatory networks, an effective 'partitioning' strategy is to simulate mRNA synthesis and degradation by SSA and all subsequent protein-interaction processes by nonlinear ODEs. We have shown (Ahmadian et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2016) that this approach is 50-100 times faster than 'brute force' SSA, without sacrificing accuracy of the stochastic results.…”

Strategies for modeling the complex dynamical behavior of gene/protein regulatory networks have evolved over the last 50 years as both the knowledge of these molecular control systems and the power of computing resources have increased. Here, we review a number of common modeling approaches, including Boolean (logical) models, systems of piecewise-linear or fully non-linear ordinary differential equations, and stochastic models (including hybrid deterministic/stochastic approaches). We discuss the pro's and con's of each approach, to help novice modelers choose a modeling strategy suitable to their problem, based on the type and bounty of available experimental information. We illustrate different modeling strategies in terms of some abstract network motifs, and in the specific context of cell cycle regulation.

“…After such partitioning we apply the HR hybrid algorithm to simulate the trajectories of state variables. The step by step algorithm is provided in [35,37] and more implementation details can be found in [42]. In those works, we have shown that placing the dynamics of mRNAs into SSA regime and solving ODEs for protein regulatory network leads to sufficiently accurate results, and significantly reduces the computational cost.…”

Background: Cell size is a key characteristic that significantly affects many aspects of cellular physiology. There are specific control mechanisms during cell cycle that maintain the cell size within a range from generation to generation. Such control mechanisms introduce substantial variabilities to important properties of the cell cycle such as growth and division. To quantitatively study the effect of such variability in progression through cell cycle, detailed stochastic models are required. Results: In this paper, a new hybrid stochastic model is proposed to study the effect of molecular noise and size control mechanism on the variabilities in cell cycle of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The proposed model provides an accurate, yet computationally efficient approach for simulation of an intricate system by integrating the deterministic and stochastic simulation schemes. The developed hybrid stochastic model can successfully capture several key features of the cell cycle observed in experimental data. In particular, the proposed model: 1) confirms that the majority of noise in size control stems from low copy numbers of transcripts in the G1 phase, 2) identifies the size and time regulation modules in the size control mechanism, and 3) conforms with phenotypes of early G1 mutants in exquisite detail. Conclusions: Hybrid stochastic modeling approach can be used to provide quantitative descriptions for stochastic properties of the cell cycle within a computationally efficient framework.

“…The main contribution of this paper is a new hybrid model that quantitatively describes key characteristics of the cell cycle, such as inter-division times and cell sizes, distribution of mRNAs, as well as the partial viability of specific mutant strains. Building on our previous work in [35], our new model includes the transcripts of the early G1 phase. This feature is in a direct contrast with existing works, such as [27, 35], that disregard the dynamics of early G1 proteins (Cln3 and Bck2) and do not include the G1 cyclin transcripts ( mCln3 and mBck2 ).…”
