Reconstructing an epigenetic landscape using a genetic `pulling' approach

Michael Assaf, Shay Be'er, Elijah Roberts

Cells use genetic switches to shift between alternate stable gene expression states, e.g., to adapt to new environments or to follow a developmental pathway. Conceptually, these st…

The dynamics of simple gene-network motifs subject to extrinsic fluctuations

Elijah Roberts, Shay Be'er, Chris Bohrer +2

Cellular processes do not follow deterministic rules; even in identical environments genetically identical cells can make random choices leading to different phenotypes. This rando…

Cooperation dilemma in finite populations under fluctuating environments

Michael Assaf, Mauro Mobilia, Elijah Roberts

We present a novel approach allowing the study of rare events like fixation under fluctuating environments, modeled as extrinsic noise, in evolutionary processes characterized by t…

Extrinsic noise driven phenotype switching in a self-regulating gene

Michael Assaf, Elijah Roberts, Zaida Luthey-Schulten +1

Due to inherent noise in intracellular networks cellular decisions can be random, so genetically identical cells can display different phenotypic behavior even in identical environ…
