Practical 3 on sequence analysis will be assessed with a short report described in the practical information, and will be worth 30% of the total module value. The main assessment, worth 70% of the total module value, is described below.
Write a report on the modelling and simulation of genetic and biochemical networks. You should cover model-building issues and deterministic and stochastic simulation strategies. It might be helpful to illustrate basic issues using simple models that you have investigated "by hand", and discuss more complex examples using freely available software tools for biological modelling and simulation. Your report should make reference to SBML, and include a discussion of general compatibility issues. Another important aspect of this course is recognition of the importance and prevalence of stochastic effects in biological systems, and so you should compare and contrast deterministic and stochastic simulation techniques for models of biological systems.
Your report should be written in an informal essay style, be no more than 15 pages including all figures, tables, etc., and use a minimum font size of 11pt.
This report must be emailed to me before 10am on Monday 18th February, 2013.
