Background:

  • Biochemical networks exhibit complex dynamics like switching, oscillation, and chaos.
  • Identifying parameter regions that lead to these behaviors is crucial for understanding biological systems.
  • Existing tools may lack comprehensive search capabilities for bifurcation points.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a computational tool for identifying bifurcation points in arbitrary Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)-based reaction networks.
  • To enable researchers to explore parameter space and discover regions exhibiting specific dynamical behaviors.
  • To facilitate the analysis of complex dynamics in biochemical systems.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a genetic algorithm to search for specific bifurcation types.
