Simulating the Large-Scale Erosion of Genomic Privacy Over Time

Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Verena Wolf, Xiaoyu Shen

The dramatically decreasing costs of DNA sequencing have triggered more than a million humans to have their genotypes sequenced. Moreover, these individuals increasingly make their genomic data publicly available, thereby creating privacy threats for thems ...

Approximation of event probabilities in noisy cellular processes

Maria-Emanuela-Canini Mateescu, Verena Wolf

Molecular noise, which arises from the randomness of the discrete events in the cell, significantly influences fundamental biological processes. Discrete-state continuous-time stochastic models (CTMC) can be used to describe such effects, but the calculati ...

Hybrid Numerical Solution of the Chemical Master Equation

Maria-Emanuela-Canini Mateescu, Verena Wolf

We present a numerical approximation technique for the analysis of continuous-time Markov chains that describe networks of biochemical reactions and play an important role in the stochastic modeling of biological systems. Our approach is based on the const ...

Formalisms for Specifying Markovian Population Models

Barbara Jobstmann, Verena Wolf

We compare several languages for specifying Markovian population models such as queuing networks and chemical reaction networks. These languages -matrix descriptions, stochastic Petri nets, stoichiometric equations, stochastic process algebras, and guarded ...

Sliding Window Abstraction for Infinite Markov Chains

Maria-Emanuela-Canini Mateescu, Verena Wolf

We present ail on-the-fly abstraction technique for infinite-state continuous-time Markov chains. We consider Markov chains that are specified by a finite set of transition classes. Such models naturally represent biochemical reactions and therefore play a ...
