Properties of developmental gene regulatory networks.
The modular components, or subcircuits, of developmental gene regulatory networks (GRNs) execute specific developmental functions, such as the specification of cell identity. We survey examples of such subcircuits and relate their structures to corresponding developmental functions. These relations transcend organisms and genes, as illustrated by the similar structures of the subcircuits contro...
متن کاملGene regulatory networks and the evolution of animal body plans.
Development of the animal body plan is controlled by large gene regulatory networks (GRNs), and hence evolution of body plans must depend upon change in the architecture of developmental GRNs. However, these networks are composed of diverse components that evolve at different rates and in different ways. Because of the hierarchical organization of developmental GRNs, some kinds of change affect...
متن کاملImproving the Inference of Gene Expression Regulatory Networks with Data Aggregation Approach
Introduction: The major issue for the future of bioinformatics is the design of tools to determine the functions and all products of single-cell genes. This requires the integration of different biological disciplines as well as sophisticated mathematical and statistical tools. This study revealed that data mining techniques can be used to develop models for diagnosing high-risk or low-risk lif...
متن کاملMemory functions reveal structural properties of gene regulatory networks
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) control cellular function and decision making during tissue development and homeostasis. Mathematical tools based on dynamical systems theory are often used to model these networks, but the size and complexity of these models mean that their behaviour is not always intuitive and the underlying mechanisms can be difficult to decipher. For this reason, methods that...
متن کاملRegulatory gene networks and the properties of the developmental process.
Genomic instructions for development are encoded in arrays of regulatory DNA. These specify large networks of interactions among genes producing transcription factors and signaling components. The architecture of such networks both explains and predicts developmental phenomenology. Although network analysis is yet in its early stages, some fundamental commonalities are already emerging. Two suc...
