We present the first use of machine learning tools to predict multistationarity of reaction networks. Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs) are the mathematical formulation of how the quantities associated to a set of species (molecules, proteins, cells, or animals) vary as time passes with respect to their interactions with each other. Their mathematics does not describe just chemical reactions but many other areas of the life sciences such as ecology, epidemiology, and population dynamics. We say a CRN is at a steady state when the concentration (or number) of species do not vary anymore. Some CRNs do not attain a steady state while some others may have more than one possible steady state. The CRNs in the later group are called multistationary. Multistationarity is an important property, e.g. switch-like behaviour in cells needs multistationarity to occur. Existing algorithms to detect whether a CRN is multistationary or not are either extremely expensive or restricted in the type of CRNs they can be used on, motivating a new machine learning approach. We address the problem of representing variable-length CRN data to machine learning models by developing a new graph representation of CRNs for use with graph learning algorithms. We contribute a large dataset of labelled fully open CRNs whose production necessitated the development of new CRN theory. Then we present experimental results on the training and testing of a graph attention network model on this dataset, showing excellent levels of performance. We finish by testing the model predictions on validation data produced independently, demonstrating generalisability of the model to different types of CRN.

Boolean networks constitute relevant mathematical models to study the behaviours of genetic and signalling networks. These networks define regulatory influences between molecular nodes, each being associated to a Boolean variable and a regulatory (local) function specifying its dynamical behaviour depending on its regulators. However, existing data is mostly insufficient to adequately parametrise a model, that is to uniquely define a regulatory function for each node. With the intend to support model parametrisation, this paper presents results on the set of Boolean functions compatible with a given regulatory structure, i.e. the partially ordered set of monotone non-degenerate Boolean functions. More precisely, we present original rules to obtain the direct neighbours of any function of this set. Besides a theoretical interest, presented results will enable the development of more efficient methods for Boolean network synthesis and revision, benefiting from the progressive exploration of the vicinity of regulatory functions.

Complex systems can be advantageously modeled by formal reaction systems (RS), a.k.a. chemical reaction networks in chemistry. Reaction-based models can indeed be interpreted in a hierarchy of semantics, depending on the question at hand, most notably by Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), Continuous Time Markov Chains (CTMCs), discrete Petri nets and asynchronous Boolean transition systems. The last three semantics can be easily related in the framework of abstract interpretation. The first two are classically related by Kurtz's limit theorem which states that if reactions are density-dependent families, then, as the volume goes to infinity, the mean reactant concentrations of the CTMC tends towards the solution of the ODE. In the more realistic context of bounded volumes, it is easy to show, by moment closure, that the restriction to reactions with at most one reactant ensures similarly that the mean of the CTMC trajectories is equal to the solution of the ODE at all time points. In this paper, we generalize that result in presence of polyreactant reactions, by introducing the Stoichiometric Influence and Modification Graph (SIMG) of an RS, and by showing that the equality between the two interpretations holds for the variables that belong to distinct SIMG ancestors of polyreactant reactions. We illustrate this approach with several examples. Evaluation on BioModels reveals that the condition for all variables is satisfied on models with no polymolecular reaction only. However, our theorem can be applied selectively to certain variables of the model to provide insights into their behaviour within more complex systems. Interestingly, we also show that the equality holds for a basic oscillatory RS implementing the sine and cosine functions of time.

Omics data analysis is crucial for studying complex diseases, but its high dimensionality and heterogeneity challenge classical statistical and machine learning methods. Graph neural networks have emerged as promising alternatives, yet the optimal strategies for their design and optimization in real-world biomedical challenges remain unclear. This study evaluates various graph representation learning models for case-control classification using high-throughput biological data from Parkinson's disease and control samples. We compare topologies derived from sample similarity networks and molecular interaction networks, including protein-protein and metabolite-metabolite interactions (PPI, MMI). Graph Convolutional Network (GCNs), Chebyshev spectral graph convolution (ChebyNet), and Graph Attention Network (GAT), are evaluated alongside advanced architectures like graph transformers, the graph U-net, and simpler models like multilayer perceptron (MLP). These models are systematically applied to transcriptomics and metabolomics data independently. Our comparative analysis highlights the benefits and limitations of various architectures in extracting patterns from omics data, paving the way for more accurate and interpretable models in biomedical research.

Determining gene regulatory network (GRN) structure is a central problem in biology, with a variety of inference methods available for different types of data. For a widely prevalent and challenging use case, namely single-cell gene expression data measured after intervention at multiple time points with unknown joint distributions, there is only one known specifically developed method, which does not fully utilize the rich information contained in this data type. We develop an inference method for the GRN in this case, netWork infErence by covariaNce DYnamics, dubbed WENDY. The core idea of WENDY is to model the dynamics of the covariance matrix, and solve this dynamics as an optimization problem to determine the regulatory relationships. To evaluate its effectiveness, we compare WENDY with other inference methods using synthetic data and experimental data. Our results demonstrate that WENDY performs well across different data sets.

The Hilbert number $H(n)$ is defined as the maximum number of limit cycles of a planar autonomous system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with right-hand sides containing polynomials of degree at most $n in {mathbb N}$. The dynamics of chemical reaction systems with two chemical species can be (under mass-action kinetics) described by such planar autonomous ODEs, where $n$ is equal to the maximum order of the chemical reactions in the system. Generalizations of the Hilbert number $H(n)$ to three different classes of chemical reaction networks are investigated: (i) chemical systems with reactions up to the $n$-th order; (ii) systems with up to $n$-molecular chemical reactions; and (iii) weakly reversible chemical reaction networks. In each case (i), (ii) and (iii), the question on the number of limit cycles is considered. Lower bounds on the generalized Hilbert numbers are provided for both algebraic and non-algebraic limit cycles. Furthermore, given a general algebraic curve $h(x,y)=0$ of degree $n_h in {mathbb N}$ and containing one or more ovals in the positive quadrant, a chemical system is constructed which has the oval(s) as its stable algebraic limit cycle(s). The ODEs describing the dynamics of the constructed chemical system contain polynomials of degree at most $n=2,n_h+1.$ Considering $n_h ge 4,$ the algebraic curve $h(x,y)=0$ can contain multiple closed components with the maximum number of ovals given by Harnack's curve theorem as $1+(n_h-1)(n_h-2)/2$, which is equal to 4 for $n_h=4.$ Algebraic curve $h(x,y)=0$ with $n_h=4$ and the maximum number of four ovals is used to construct a chemical system which has four stable algebraic limit cycles.

Dynamical systems with polynomials on the right-hand side can model a wide range of physical processes. A subset of such dynamical systems that can model chemical reactions under mass-action kinetics are called chemical systems. A central problem in synthetic biology is to map general polynomial dynamical systems into dynamically similar chemical ones. In this paper, we present a novel map, called the quasi-chemical map, that can systematically solve this problem. The quasi-chemical map introduces suitable state-dependent perturbations into any given polynomial dynamical system which then becomes chemical under suitably large translation of variables. We prove that this map preserves robust dynamical features, such as generic equilibria and limit cycles, as well as temporal properties, such as periods of oscillations. Furthermore, the resulting chemical systems are of only at most one degree higher than the original dynamical systems. We demonstrate the quasi-chemical map by designing relatively simple chemical systems with exotic dynamics and pre-defined bifurcation structures.

Many important phenomena in chemistry and biology are realized via dynamical features such as multi-stability, oscillations, and chaos. Construction of novel chemical systems with such finely-tuned dynamics is a challenging problem central to the growing field of synthetic biology. In this paper, we address this problem by putting forward a molecular version of a recurrent artificial neural network, which we call a recurrent neural chemical reaction network (RNCRN). We prove that the RNCRN, with sufficiently many auxiliary chemical species and suitable fast reactions, can be systematically trained to achieve any dynamics. This approximation ability is shown to hold independent of the initial conditions for the auxiliary species, making the RNCRN more experimentally feasible. To demonstrate the results, we present a number of relatively simple RNCRNs trained to display a variety of biologically-important dynamical features.

We review the construction and evolution of mathematical models of the Arabidopsis circadian clock, structuring the discussion into two distinct historical phases of modeling strategies: extension and reduction. The extension phase explores the bottom-up assembly of regulatory networks introducing as many components and interactions as possible in order to capture the oscillatory nature of the clock. The reduction phase deals with functional decomposition, distilling complex models to their essential dynamical repertoire. Current challenges in this field, including the integration of spatial considerations and environmental influences like light and temperature, are also discussed. The review emphasizes the ongoing need for models that balance molecular detail with practical simplicity.
