Analytical distributions for detailed models of stochastic gene expression in eukaryotic cells

Z Cao, R Grima - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
The stochasticity of gene expression presents significant challenges to the modeling of
genetic networks. A two-state model describing promoter switching, transcription, and …

Linear mapping approximation of gene regulatory networks with stochastic dynamics

Z Cao, R Grima - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
The presence of protein–DNA binding reactions often leads to analytically intractable
models of stochastic gene expression. Here we present the linear-mapping approximation …

Phenotypic switching in gene regulatory networks

P Thomas, N Popović, R Grima - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Noise in gene expression can lead to reversible phenotypic switching. Several experimental
studies have shown that the abundance distributions of proteins in a population of isogenic …

Exact distributions for stochastic gene expression models with bursting and feedback

N Kumar, T Platini, RV Kulkarni - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
Stochasticity in gene expression can give rise to fluctuations in protein levels and lead to
phenotypic variation across a population of genetically identical cells. Recent experiments …

Markovian approaches to modeling intracellular reaction processes with molecular memory

J Zhang, T Zhou - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Many cellular processes are governed by stochastic reaction events. These events do not
necessarily occur in single steps of individual molecules, and, conversely, each birth or …

Exact solution of stochastic gene expression models with bursting, cell cycle and replication dynamics

CHL Beentjes, R Perez-Carrasco, R Grima - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
The bulk of stochastic gene expression models in the literature do not have an explicit
description of the age of a cell within a generation and hence they cannot capture events …

Extrinsic noise and heavy-tailed laws in gene expression

L Ham, RD Brackston, MPH Stumpf - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
Noise in gene expression is one of the hallmarks of life at the molecular scale. Here we
derive analytical solutions to a set of models describing the molecular mechanisms …
