This study introduces novel phase-based sensitivity metrics for biological oscillators, revealing conserved parameter sensitivities in circadian models. These metrics offer a more comprehensive understanding of biological network design principles.

Area of Science:

  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Chronobiology

Background:

  • Sensitivity analysis is crucial for understanding biological network design principles and model development.
  • Current sensitivity analysis for oscillatory systems primarily focuses on period and amplitude, neglecting phase dynamics.
  • Phase characteristics are biologically relevant and require dedicated sensitivity metrics for comprehensive analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce novel phase-based sensitivity metrics for evaluating the performance of biological oscillatory systems.
  • To apply these metrics to circadian models of Drosophila melanogaster and Mus musculus to assess parameter sensitivity.
  • To investigate the conservation and functional relevance of parameter sensitivities in biological oscillators.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel set of phase-based sensitivity metrics, including period, phase, corrected phase, and relative phase.
  • Application of both state- and phase-based sensitivity analysis tools.
  • Analysis of free-running circadian models for Drosophila melanogaster and Mus musculus.

Main Results:

  • Each novel metric generated unique sensitivity values, enabling the ranking of parameters by sensitivity.
  • Rank distributions showed strong similarities, suggesting conserved parameter sensitivities across different functions and types.
  • Biological oscillators demonstrated higher sensitivity to global parameters compared to local (circadian-specific) parameters.

Conclusions:

  • Phase-based sensitivity metrics provide valuable insights into biological oscillator performance, complementing existing amplitude and period analyses.
  • The findings indicate a conservation of parameter sensitivity with respect to parameter function and type in circadian models.
  • The study highlights that specific parametric sensitivities are dependent on the chosen metric, emphasizing the importance of metric selection.
