text: "The process of gene expression is central to the modern understanding of
how cellular systems\r\nfunction. In this process, a special kind of regulatory
proteins, called transcription factors,\r\nare important to determine how much
protein is produced from a given gene. As biological\r\ninformation is transmitted
from transcription factor concentration to mRNA levels to amounts of\r\nprotein,
various sources of noise arise and pose limits to the fidelity of intracellular
signaling.\r\nThis thesis concerns itself with several aspects of stochastic gene
expression: (i) the mathematical\r\ndescription of complex promoters responsible
for the stochastic production of biomolecules,\r\n(ii) fundamental limits to information
processing the cell faces due to the interference from multiple\r\nfluctuating
signals, (iii) how the presence of gene expression noise influences the evolution\r\nof
regulatory sequences, (iv) and tools for the experimental study of origins and
consequences\r\nof cell-cell heterogeneity, including an application to bacterial
stress response systems."

text: 'Gene regulation relies on the specificity of transcription factor (TF)–DNA
interactions. Limited specificity may lead to crosstalk: a regulatory state in
which a gene is either incorrectly activated due to noncognate TF–DNA interactions
or remains erroneously inactive. As each TF can have numerous interactions with
noncognate cis-regulatory elements, crosstalk is inherently a global problem,
yet has previously not been studied as such. We construct a theoretical framework
to analyse the effects of global crosstalk on gene regulation. We find that crosstalk
presents a significant challenge for organisms with low-specificity TFs, such
as metazoans. Crosstalk is not easily mitigated by known regulatory schemes acting
at equilibrium, including variants of cooperativity and combinatorial regulation.
Our results suggest that crosstalk imposes a previously unexplored global constraint
on the functioning and evolution of regulatory networks, which is qualitatively
distinct from the known constraints that act at the level of individual gene regulatory
elements.'

text: Mathematical models are of fundamental importance in the understanding of
complex population dynamics. For instance, they can be used to predict the population
evolution starting from different initial conditions or to test how a system responds
to external perturbations. For this analysis to be meaningful in real applications,
however, it is of paramount importance to choose an appropriate model structure
and to infer the model parameters from measured data. While many parameter inference
methods are available for models based on deterministic ordinary differential
equations, the same does not hold for more detailed individual-based models. Here
we consider, in particular, stochastic models in which the time evolution of the
species abundances is described by a continuous-time Markov chain. These models
are governed by a master equation that is typically difficult to solve. Consequently,
traditional inference methods that rely on iterative evaluation of parameter likelihoods
are computationally intractable. The aim of this paper is to present recent advances
in parameter inference for continuous-time Markov chain models, based on a moment
closure approximation of the parameter likelihood, and to investigate how these
results can help in understanding, and ultimately controlling, complex systems
in ecology. Specifically, we illustrate through an agricultural pest case study
how parameters of a stochastic individual-based model can be identified from measured
data and how the resulting model can be used to solve an optimal control problem
in a stochastic setting. In particular, we show how the matter of determining
the optimal combination of two different pest control methods can be formulated
as a chance constrained optimization problem where the control action is modeled
as a state reset, leading to a hybrid system formulation.

text: 'Many stochastic models of biochemical reaction networks contain some chemical
species for which the number of molecules that are present in the system can only
be finite (for instance due to conservation laws), but also other species that
can be present in arbitrarily large amounts. The prime example of such networks
are models of gene expression, which typically contain a small and finite number
of possible states for the promoter but an infinite number of possible states
for the amount of mRNA and protein. One of the main approaches to analyze such
models is through the use of equations for the time evolution of moments of the
chemical species. Recently, a new approach based on conditional moments of the
species with infinite state space given all the different possible states of the
finite species has been proposed. It was argued that this approach allows one
to capture more details about the full underlying probability distribution with
a smaller number of equations. Here, I show that the result that less moments
provide more information can only stem from an unnecessarily complicated description
of the system in the classical formulation. The foundation of this argument will
be the derivation of moment equations that describe the complete probability distribution
over the finite state space but only low-order moments over the infinite state
space. I will show that the number of equations that is needed is always less
than what was previously claimed and always less than the number of conditional
moment equations up to the same order. To support these arguments, a symbolic
algorithm is provided that can be used to derive minimal systems of unconditional
moment equations for models with partially finite state space. '

text: Systems biology rests on the idea that biological complexity can be better
unraveled through the interplay of modeling and experimentation. However, the
success of this approach depends critically on the informativeness of the chosen
experiments, which is usually unknown a priori. Here, we propose a systematic
scheme based on iterations of optimal experiment design, flow cytometry experiments,
and Bayesian parameter inference to guide the discovery process in the case of
stochastic biochemical reaction networks. To illustrate the benefit of our methodology,
we apply it to the characterization of an engineered light-inducible gene expression
circuit in yeast and compare the performance of the resulting model with models
identified from nonoptimal experiments. In particular, we compare the parameter
posterior distributions and the precision to which the outcome of future experiments
can be predicted. Moreover, we illustrate how the identified stochastic model
can be used to determine light induction patterns that make either the average
amount of protein or the variability in a population of cells follow a desired
profile. Our results show that optimal experiment design allows one to derive
models that are accurate enough to precisely predict and regulate the protein
expression in heterogeneous cell populations over extended periods of time.

text: Grounding autonomous behavior in the nervous system is a fundamental challenge
for neuroscience. In particular, self-organized behavioral development provides
more questions than answers. Are there special functional units for curiosity,
motivation, and creativity? This paper argues that these features can be grounded
in synaptic plasticity itself, without requiring any higher-level constructs.
We propose differential extrinsic plasticity (DEP) as a new synaptic rule for
self-learning systems and apply it to a number of complex robotic systems as a
test case. Without specifying any purpose or goal, seemingly purposeful and adaptive
rhythmic behavior is developed, displaying a certain level of sensorimotor intelligence.
These surprising results require no systemspecific modifications of the DEP rule.
They rather arise from the underlying mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking,which
is due to the tight brain body environment coupling. The new synaptic rule is
biologically plausible and would be an interesting target for neurobiological
investigation. We also argue that this neuronal mechanism may have been a catalyst
in natural evolution.

text: Continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) models have become a central tool for
understanding the dynamics of complex reaction networks and the importance of
stochasticity in the underlying biochemical processes. When such models are employed
to answer questions in applications, in order to ensure that the model provides
a sufficiently accurate representation of the real system, it is of vital importance
that the model parameters are inferred from real measured data. This, however,
is often a formidable task and all of the existing methods fail in one case or
the other, usually because the underlying CTMC model is high-dimensional and computationally
difficult to analyze. The parameter inference methods that tend to scale best
in the dimension of the CTMC are based on so-called moment closure approximations.
However, there exists a large number of different moment closure approximations
and it is typically hard to say a priori which of the approximations is the most
suitable for the inference procedure. Here, we propose a moment-based parameter
inference method that automatically chooses the most appropriate moment closure
method. Accordingly, contrary to existing methods, the user is not required to
be experienced in moment closure techniques. In addition to that, our method adaptively
changes the approximation during the parameter inference to ensure that always
the best approximation is used, even in cases where different approximations are
best in different regions of the parameter space.

text: Motion tracking is a challenge the visual system has to solve by reading out
the retinal population. It is still unclear how the information from different
neurons can be combined together to estimate the position of an object. Here we
recorded a large population of ganglion cells in a dense patch of salamander and
guinea pig retinas while displaying a bar moving diffusively. We show that the
bar’s position can be reconstructed from retinal activity with a precision in
the hyperacuity regime using a linear decoder acting on 100+ cells. We then took
advantage of this unprecedented precision to explore the spatial structure of
the retina’s population code. The classical view would have suggested that the
firing rates of the cells form a moving hill of activity tracking the bar’s position.
Instead, we found that most ganglion cells in the salamander fired sparsely and
idiosyncratically, so that their neural image did not track the bar. Furthermore,
ganglion cell activity spanned an area much larger than predicted by their receptive
fields, with cells coding for motion far in their surround. As a result, population
redundancy was high, and we could find multiple, disjoint subsets of neurons that
encoded the trajectory with high precision. This organization allows for diverse
collections of ganglion cells to represent high-accuracy motion information in
a form easily read out by downstream neural circuits.
