Regulatory networks describe the interactions between molecular or cellular regulators, like transcription factors and genes in gene regulatory networks, kinases and their receptors in signalling networks, or neurons in neural networks. A…
Biochemical reaction networks are subjected to large fluctuations attributable to small molecule numbers, yet underlie reliable biological functions. Most theoretical approaches describe them as purely deterministic or stochastic dynamical…
Regulatory interactions between genes show a large amount of cross-species variability, even when the underlying functions are conserved: There are many ways to achieve the same function. Here we investigate the ability of regulatory…
Experiments in recent years have vividly demonstrated that gene expression can be highly stochastic. How protein concentration fluctuations affect the growth rate of a population of cells, is, however, a wide open question. We present a…
Gene expression in response to stimuli is regulated by transcription factors (TFs) through feedback loop motifs, aimed at maintaining the desired TF concentration despite uncertainties and perturbations. In this work, we consider a…
We present computer-assisted methods for analyzing stochastic models of gene regulatory networks. The main idea that underlies this equation-free analysis is the design and execution of appropriately-initialized short bursts of stochastic…
Understanding the relationship between spontaneous stochastic fluctuations and the topology of the underlying gene regulatory network is of fundamental importance for the study of single-cell stochastic gene expression. Here by solving the…
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…
We discuss recent developments in the modeling of negative autoregulated genetic networks. In particular, we consider the temporal evolution of the population of mRNA and proteins in simple networks using rate equations. In the limit of low…
Interactions between genes and gene products give rise to complex circuits that enable cells to process information and respond to external signals. Theoretical studies often describe these interactions using continuous, stochastic, or…
We study several Fokker-Planck equations arising from a stochastic chemical kinetic system modeling a gene regulatory network in biology. The densities solving the Fokker-Planck equations describe the joint distribution of the messenger RNA…
Gaussian macroscopic fluctuation theory underpins the understanding of noise in a broad class of nonequilibrium systems. We derive exact fluctuation-response relations linking the power spectral density of stationary fluctuations to the…
Changes in a cell's external or internal conditions are usually reflected in the concentrations of the relevant transcription factors. These proteins in turn modulate the expression levels of the genes under their control and sometimes need…
The basic purpose of this work was to suggest universal quantitative description of ergodic system intermediate bifurcation and obligatory conditions of this transition. Conditions for existence of phase state and first order phase…
The over-damped motion of a Brownian particle in an asymmetric, bistable, fluctuating potential shows noise induced stability: For intermediate fluctuation rates the mean occupancy of minima with an energy above the absolute minimum is…
Auto-regulatory feedback loops are one of the most common network motifs. A wide variety of stochastic models have been constructed to understand how the fluctuations in protein numbers in these loops are influenced by the kinetic…
Firing rate fluctuations in neural populations are observed experimentally over multiple time scales, in single neurons, across trials when elicited by stimuli, and across populations. In this work, we examine how firing rate fluctuations…
Genetic feedback loops in cells break detailed balance and involve bimolecular reactions; hence exact solutions revealing the nature of the stochastic fluctuations in these loops are lacking. We here consider the master equation for a gene…
We consider an evolving network of a fixed number of nodes. The allocation of edges is a dynamical stochastic process inspired by biological reproduction dynamics, namely by deleting and duplicating existing nodes and their edges. The…
Populations of spiking neuron models have densities of their microscopic variables (e.g., single-cell membrane potentials) whose evolution fully capture the collective dynamics of biological networks, even outside equilibrium. Despite its…
