Oscillatory and anti-oscillatory motifs in genetic regulatory networks

Recently,self-sustained oscillatory genetic regulatory networks(GRNs) have attracted significant attention in the biological field.Given a GRN,it is important to anticipate whether the network could generate oscillation with proper parameters,and what the key ingredients for the oscillation are.In this paper the ranges of some function-related parameters which are favorable to sustained oscillations are considered.In particular,some oscillatory motifs appearing with high-frequency in most of the oscillatory GRNs are observed.Moreover,there are some anti-oscillatory motifs which have a strong oscillation repressing effect.Some conclusions analyzing these motif effects and constructing oscillatory GRNs are provided.     

少节点基因调控网络的控制

近年来,自组织振荡网络受到越来越多科学家的关注,对生物体的生长、发育起调控作用的基因调控网络即是其中的一种.本文研究了少节点基因调控网络的控制问题.运用多相位超前驱动方法对该种网络进行调控,可以有效地提高对网络的控制效率.通过数值模拟,发现对于少节点基因调控网络,当系统参数确定时,网络的有效控制率可以达到95％以上(10节点网络);当系统参数不确定时,控制的效率也非常高.
