Modeling and Synthetic Biology DAY THREE: PART ONE
Model -Concrete -Descriptive -Abstract
Why Model? -Reveals relationships which were not previously apparent -Not possible to make a physical measurement -Large volume of data -Infeasible experiments -save cost/time
Model • ‘Of course your model predicted what you wanted to - you built it’ • ‘I could have figured it out without your model just by doing a simple experiment’
Types of models 1. Rule-based models 2. Mass action kinetics 3. Stoichiometric matrix
Model : Steps for Building 1.Graphical depiction 2.System definition (boundaries & assumptions) & data collection 3. Mathematical expressions 4. System analysis 5. Model curation - ‘I could have figured it out without your model just by doing a simple experiment’
