"Glassy" Relaxation in Catalytic Reaction Networks
Akinori Awazu, Kunihiko Kaneko
Relaxation dynamics in reversible catalytic reaction networks is studied, revealing two salient behaviors that are reminiscent of glassy behavior: slow relaxation with log(time) de…
Network Evolution of Body Plans
Koichi Fujimoto, Shuji Ishihara, Kunihiko Kaneko
Segmentation in arthropod embryogenesis represents a well-known example of body plan diversity. Striped patterns of gene expression that lead to the future body segments appear sim…
Relationship among Phenotypic Plasticity, Genetic and Epigenetic Fluctuations, Robustness, and Evolovability; Waddington's Legacy revisited under the Spirit of Einstein
Kunihiko Kaneko
Questions on possible relationship between phenotypic plasticity and evolvability, as well as that between robustness and evolution have been addressed over decades in the field of…
Consistency Principle in Biological Dynamical Systems
Kunihiko Kaneko, Chikara Furusawa
We propose a principle of consistency between different hierarchical levels of biological systems. Given a consistency between molecule replication and cell reproduction, universal…
Shaping Robust System through Evolution
Kunihiko Kaneko
Biological functions are generated as a result of developmental dynamics that form phenotypes governed by genotypes. The dynamical system for development is shaped through genetic…
Funnel landscape and mutational robustness as a result of evolution under thermal noise
Ayaka Sakata, Koji Hukushima, Kunihiko Kaneko
In biological systems, expression dynamics to shape a fitted phenotype for function has evolved through mutations to genes, as observed in the evolution of funnel landscape in prot…
