Random Boolean networks (RBNs) are models of genetic regulatory networks. It is useful to describe RBNs as self-organizing systems to study how changes in the nodes and connections affect the global network dynamics. This article reviews…
Random Boolean networks (RBNs) have been a popular model of genetic regulatory networks for more than four decades. However, most RBN studies have been made with random topologies, while real regulatory networks have been found to be…
Boolean networks, widely used to model gene regulation, exhibit a phase transition between regimes in which small perturbations either die out or grow exponentially. We show and numerically verify that this phase transition in the dynamics…
