Assessing the Probable Regulatory Structures and Dynamics of the Metazoan Genome

  • Conference paper
Kinetic Logic A Boolean Approach to the Analysis of Complex Regulatory Systems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Biomathematics ((LNBM,volume 29))

Abstract

In the previous chapter I sketched several molar behaviors of cells during metazoan ontogeny. The purpose of the present chapter is to discuss an approach to relating the observed molar behaviors to the behaviors of the underlying coupled system of genes and products which regulate one anothers activities. We cannot in the near future expect to work through the control connections among so many components. However, we can hope to characterize a number of local, small scale properties of the organization of cellular control systems, such as specifying the typical number of molecular variables controlling any given process and specifying the ways variations in the regulating processes affect the controlled process.
