We introduce a biologically detailed, stochastic model of gene expression describing the multiple rate-limiting steps of transcription, nuclear pre-mRNA processing, nuclear mRNA export, cytoplasmic mRNA degradation and translation of mRNA…
Transcriptional regulation by transcription factors and post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs constitute two major modes of regulation of gene expression. While gene expression motifs incorporating solely transcriptional regulation…
There are two types of methods for non-autoregressive text-to-speech models to learn the one-to-many relationship between text and speech effectively. The first one is to use an advanced generative framework such as normalizing flow (NF).…
The processes, resulting in the transcription of RNA, are intrinsically noisy. It was observed experimentally that the synthesis of mRNA molecules is driven by short, burst-like, events. An accurate prediction of the protein level often…
Gene expression is a fundamental process in a living system. The small RNAs (sRNAs) is widely observed as a global regulator in gene expression. The inherent nonlinearity in this regulatory process together with the bursty production of…
Translation is a key step in the synthesis of proteins. Accordingly, cells have evolved an intricate array of control mechanisms to regulate this process. By constructing a multi-component mathematical framework for translation we uncover…
We propose a new non-equilibrium model for spatial pattern formation on the basis of local information transfer. Unlike standard models of pattern formation it is not based on the Turing instability. Information is transmitted through the…

In order to transmit biochemical signals, biological regulatory systems dissipate energy with concomitant entropy production. Additionally, signaling often takes place in challenging environmental conditions. In a simple model regulatory…
It has been repeatedly proposed to expand the scope for SETI, and one of the suggested alternatives to radio is the biological media. Genomic DNA is already used on Earth to store non-biological information. Though smaller in capacity, but…
Understanding how information can efficiently spread in distributed systems under noisy communications is a fundamental question in both biological research and artificial system design. When agents are able to control whom they interact…
The well-known issue of reconstructing regulatory networks from gene expression measurements has been somewhat disrupted by the emergence and rapid development of single-cell data. Indeed, the traditional way of seeing a gene regulatory…
Noise in the expression of a gene produces fluctuations in the concentration of the gene product. These fluctuations can interfere with optimal function or can be exploited to generate beneficial diversity between cells; gene expression…

Signal-processing molecules inside cells are often present at low copy number, which necessitates probabilistic models to account for intrinsic noise. Probability distributions have traditionally been found using simulation-based approaches…
Due to the stochastic nature of biochemical processes, the copy number of any given type of molecule inside a living cell often exhibits large temporal fluctuations. Here, we develop analytic methods to investigate how the noise arising…
Suprathreshold stochastic resonance (SSR) is a form of noise enhanced signal transmission that occurs in a parallel array of independently noisy identical threshold nonlinearities, including model neurons. Unlike most forms of stochastic…
Recent whole genome polymerase binding assays have shown that a large proportion of unexpressed genes have pre-assembled RNA pol II transcription initiation complex stably bound to their promoters. Some such promoter proximally paused genes…
The inherent probabilistic nature of the biochemical reactions, and low copy number of species can lead to stochasticity in gene expression across identical cells. As a result, after induction of gene expression, the time at which a…
