A general mechanism for network-dosage compensation in gene circuits.
Coping with variations in network dosage is crucial for maintaining optimal function in gene networks. We explored how network structure facilitates network-level dosage compensation. By using the yeast galactose network as a model, we combinatorially deleted one of the two copies of its four regulatory genes and found that network activity was robust to the change in network dosage. A mathemat...
متن کاملNetwork motifs in natural and artificial transcriptional regulatory networks
We show that network motifs found in natural regulatory networks may also be found in an artificial regulatory network model created through a duplication / divergence process. It is shown that these network motifs exist more frequently in a genome created through the aforementioned process than in randomly generated genomes. These results are then compared with a network motif analysis of the ...
متن کاملDetecting Network Motifs in Gene Co-expression Networks
Biological networks can be broken down into modules, groups of interacting molecules. To uncover these functional modules and study their evolution, our research groups are developing graphtheory based strategies for the analysis of gene expression data. We are looking for groups of completely connected subgraphs (e.g. cliques) in which corresponding members have the same combination of protein...
متن کاملQualitative Analysis of Gene Regulatory Networks using Network Motifs
We developed a method for analysing gene regulatory networks in a purely qualitative fashion. Behaviours of networks are captured as transition systems using propositions for gene states (ON or OFF), and those related to threshold values for gene activation/inhibition. Possible behaviours of networks are specified by logical formulae in Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). With this specification, it i...
متن کاملDiscovering Network Motifs in Protein Interaction Networks
This chapter examines some of the available techniques for analyzing a protein interaction network (PIN) when depicted as an undirected graph. Within this graph, algorithms have been developed which identify “notable” smaller building blocks called network motifs. The authors examine these algorithms by dividing them into two broad categories based on two definitions of “notable”: (a) statistic...
