Control-Based Continuation (CBC) is a general and systematic method to carry out the bifurcation analysis of physical experiments. CBC does not rely on a mathematical model and thus overcomes the uncertainty introduced when identifying bifurcation curves indirectly through modeling and parameter estimation. We demonstrate,in silico, CBC applicability to biochemical processes by tracking the equilibrium curve of a toggle switch, which includes additive process noise and exhibits bistability. We compare the results obtained when CBC uses a model-free and model-based control strategy and show that both can track stable and unstable solutions, revealing bistability. We then demonstrate CBC in conditions more representative of anin vivoexperiment using an agent-based simulator describing cell growth and division, cell-to-cell variability, spatial distribution, and diffusion of chemicals. We further show how the identified curves can be used for parameter estimation and discuss how CBC can significantly accelerate the prototyping of synthetic gene regulatory networks.
