A Novel Method for the Integration of Stochastic Petri Net Simulation and
Transcriptomic Data Applied to a Metabolic Pathway
Author(s): Carvalho LM, Meirelles GV, Pereira GAG* and Carazzolle MF
Over the years, methods capable of integrating data from omics, such as transcriptomics, proteomics and
metabolomics have emerged in Systems Biology, principally the use of networks to integrate omics information.
In particular, the role of each biological pathway aims to understand the intermolecular interactions. While there
are theoretical and experimental strategies to investigate biological pathways involved in cellular metabolism,
computational modeling methods allow for a better understanding of them. Here we propose a new method to
connect transcriptomic data with simulation approach using stochastic Petri Net (PN) metabolic networks. This new
approach was developed based on well-studied theoretical gene expression modeling while trying to assimilate
dynamic ordinary systems to a stochastic model function. The developed method was used to perform st.. Read More»
