Gene expression noise accelerates the evolution of a biological oscillator

Yen Ting Lin, Nicolas E. Buchler

Gene expression is a biochemical process, where stochastic binding and un-binding events naturally generate fluctuations and cell-to-cell variability in gene dynamics. These fluctu…

Accelerated Bayesian inference of gene expression models from snapshots of single-cell transcripts

Yen Ting Lin, Nicolas E. Buchler

Understanding how stochastic gene expression is regulated in biological systems using snapshots of single-cell transcripts requires state-of-the-art methods of computational analys…

Efficient analysis of stochastic gene dynamics in the non-adiabatic regime using piecewise deterministic Markov processes

Yen Ting Lin, Nicolas E. Buchler

Single-cell experiments show that gene expression is stochastic and bursty, a feature that can emerge from slow switching between promoter states with different activities. One sou…

Role of DNA binding sites and slow unbinding kinetics in titration-based oscillators

Sargis Karapetyan, Nicolas E. Buchler

Genetic oscillators, such as circadian clocks, are constantly perturbed by molecular noise arising from the small number of molecules involved in gene regulation. One of the strong…

Designing sequential transcription logic: a simple genetic circuit for conditional memory

Georg Fritz, Nicolas E. Buchler, Terence Hwa +1

The ability to learn and respond to recurrent events depends on the capacity to remember transient biological signals received in the past. Moreover, it may be desirable to remembe…

Nonlinear Protein Degradation and the Function of Genetic Circuits

Nicolas E. Buchler, Ulrich Gerland, Terence Hwa

The functions of most genetic circuits require sufficient degrees of cooperativity in the circuit components. While mechanisms of cooperativity have been studied most extensively i…
