| Abstract | Logical modelling constitutes a flexible framework to build qualitative predictive models, which can be readily analysed or simulated as such, and potentially used as scaffolds to build more quantitative (continuous or stochastic) models. We use Multi-valued Decision Diagrams to implement (multi-level) logical updating rules in the modelling software GINsim [2]. This representation enabled the development of efficient algorithms for the identification of stable states, or yet to identify specific (positive or negative) regulatory circuits involved in specific dynamical properties (e.g., multiple attractors or sustained oscillations). To cope with larger molecular networks, we have implemented a flexible reduction method conserving the attractors of the original model into our software GINsim [4]. Furthermore, we have delineated an incremental, compositional strategy to build large models by combining logical models for simpler regulatory modules. These methodological developments have been recently applied to the differentiation of T-helper cells into different subtypes, depending on activation by antigen presenting cells and on micro-environment (combinations of cytokines) [3]. In my lecture, I will introduce the biological background and generic questions regarding the organisation and function of the signalling/regulatory circuits underlying cell fate decision. I will illustrate the types of insights gained by logical modelling through an application dealing with blood cell differentiation and developed in collaboration with Thomas Graf (Center for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona, Spain) [1]. More specifically, I will present a model recapitulating the differentiation of common lymphocyte/myoloid progenitors into T and B lymphocyte committed progenitors in the presence of proper lymphokine signalling. Furthermore, this model enables the reproduction of T or B lymphocyte precursors into macrophages upon induced expression of the transcription factors CEBPa or CEBPb, in the presence of specific lymphokines. Finally, this model can be used to simulate the behaviour of the system in novel situations, e.g. in the presence of combinations of perturbations such as gene knockouts or ectopic expressions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
