Unlocking the World of Stochastic Modelling For Systems Biology

Have you ever wondered how complex biological systems work? How do individual cells, molecules, and genes interact with each other to generate intricate and fascinating phenomena? This is where stochastic modelling for systems biology comes into play. In its third edition, Chapman Hallcrc brings you a comprehensive guide to decoding the secrets of biological systems through stochastic modelling.

The Power of Stochastic Modelling

Stochastic modelling is a mathematical approach that takes into account the element of randomness and uncertainty in biological systems. Unlike deterministic models that assume fixed parameters and predictable outcomes, stochastic models capture the inherent variability and fluctuations in biological processes.

Why is this important for systems biology? Well, living organisms are highly dynamic and subject to myriad uncertainties. Cells and molecules operate in an environment of constant change, influenced by factors such as genetic mutations, environmental fluctuations, and random interactions. Traditional models fail to capture this complexity, leading to inaccurate predictions and limited understanding.

Stochastic models bridge this gap by embracing randomness. By considering the probabilities of different events and the rules that govern their occurrences, these models simulate the behavior of biological systems more accurately. This not only enhances our understanding of complex biological phenomena but also aids in various practical applications, such as drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and personalized medicine.

Since the first edition of Stochastic Modelling for Systems Biology, there have been many interesting developments in the use of "likelihood-free" methods of Bayesian inference for complex stochastic models. Having been thoroughly updated to reflect this, this third edition covers everything necessary for a good appreciation of stochastic kinetic modelling of biological networks in the systems biology context. New methods and applications are included in the book, and the use of R for practical illustration of the algorithms has been greatly extended. There is a brand new chapter on spatially extended systems, and the statistical inference chapter has also been extended with new methods, including approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). Stochastic Modelling for Systems Biology, Third Edition is now supplemented by an additional software library, written in Scala, described in a new appendix to the book.

New in the Third Edition

• New chapter on spatially extended systems, covering the spatial Gillespie algorithm for reaction diffusion master equation models in 1- and 2-d, along with fast approximations based on the spatial chemical Langevin equation

• Significantly expanded chapter on inference for stochastic kinetic models from data, covering ABC, including ABC-SMC

• Updated R package, including code relating to all of the new material

• New R package for parsing SBML models into simulatable stochastic Petri net models

• New open-source software library, written in Scala, replicating most of the functionality of the R packages in a fast, compiled, strongly typed, functional language

Keeping with the spirit of earlier editions, all of the new theory is presented in a very informal and intuitive manner, keeping the text as accessible as possible to the widest possible readership. An effective to the area of stochastic modelling in computational systems biology, this new edition adds additional detail and computational methods that will provide a stronger foundation for the development of more advanced courses in stochastic biological modelling.
