[HTML][HTML] Multistable decision switches for flexible control of epigenetic differentiation

R Guantes, JF Poyatos - PLoS computational biology, 2008 - journals.plos.org
It is now recognized that molecular circuits with positive feedback can induce two different
gene expression states (bistability) under the very same cellular conditions. Whether, and …

Synchronization of genetic oscillators

T Zhou, J Zhang, Z Yuan, L Chen - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal …, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
Synchronization of genetic or cellular oscillators is a central topic in understanding the
rhythmicity of living organisms at both molecular and cellular levels. Here, we show how a …

Rate constants rather than biochemical mechanism determine behaviour of genetic clocks

E Conrad, AE Mayo, AJ Ninfa… - Journal of The Royal …, 2008 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Many biological systems contain both positive and negative feedbacks. These are often
classified as resonators or integrators. Resonators respond preferentially to oscillating …

Design and mathematical modelling of a synthetic symbiotic ecosystem

PKR Kambam, MA Henson, L Sun - IET Systems Biology, 2008 - IET
Artificial microbial ecosystems have been increasingly used to understand principles of
ecology. These systems offer unique capabilities to mimic a variety of ecological interactions …

Construction and customization of stable oscillation models in biology

W Yin, EO Voit - Journal of Biological Systems, 2008 - World Scientific
Oscillations exist at all levels of biological systems and are often crucial for their proper
functioning. Among the various types of oscillations, limit cycles have received particular …

Coherence, collective rhythm, and phase difference distribution in populations of stochastic genetic oscillators with cellular communication

Z Yuan, J Zhang, T Zhou - Physical Review E, 2008 - APS
An ensemble of stochastic genetic relaxation oscillators via phase-attractive or repulsive cell-
to-cell communication are investigated. In the phase-attractive coupling case, it is found that …
