dc.description.abstractIn Systems Biology and more recently emerging field of Synthetic Biology, mathematical modeling has become an indispensable component of research. As com-plementary to the experimental studies, computer simulations are used to accelerate the hypothesis generation-validation cycle of research in biological systems.This thesis is mainly concerned with modeling and inference of gene regulatory dynamics on the basis of gene expression patterns. At first, we make a statistical analysis over randomly generated genetic networks, based on their oscillatory dynamics. Then, in our model problem, we aim to design a family of genetic networks that exhibit stable periodic oscillations with a prescribed period. Later, we investigate the temporal behaviour of a system utilizing a computer simulation. We design such circuits on the basis of in silico evolution of the corresponding network model.The approach starts with a randomized gene network. Then, structural rewiring mutations are applied to the networks. In this process, evolving networks are selected depending on their closer approach to the targeted dynamics, after a mutation. By us¬ing this method, networks with required oscillation periods are constructed by changing the architecture of regulatory connections between the genes.In addition, we choose a small genetic network that exhibits chaotic dynamics, and look at the change of its dynamics against a system parameter. Such an approach is useful in deriving the characteristics of these systems under specific variations.Keywords: Dynamical Systems, Gene Regulatory Networks, Evolutionary Algorithm, Mathematical Modeling, Inference, Optimization.en_US
