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 کاملStatistical epistasis is a generic feature of gene regulatory networks.
Functional dependencies between genes are a defining characteristic of gene networks underlying quantitative traits. However, recent studies show that the proportion of the genetic variation that can be attributed to statistical epistasis varies from almost zero to very high. It is thus of fundamental as well as instrumental importance to better understand whether different functional dependenc...
متن کاملA model of gene expression based on random dynamical systems reveals modularity properties of gene regulatory networks.
Here we propose a new approach to modeling gene expression based on the theory of random dynamical systems (RDS) that provides a general coupling prescription between the nodes of any given regulatory network given the dynamics of each node is modeled by a RDS. The main virtues of this approach are the following: (i) it provides a natural way to obtain arbitrarily large networks by coupling tog...
متن کاملPhenotype Accessibility and Noise in Random Threshold Gene Regulatory Networks
Evolution requires phenotypic variation in a population of organisms for selection to function. Gene regulatory processes involved in organismal development affect the phenotypic diversity of organisms. Since only a fraction of all possible phenotypes are predicted to be accessed by the end of development, organisms may evolve strategies to use environmental cues and noise-like fluctuations to ...
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...
