Final Project 數學模擬與系統生物 Gene Regulatory Networks and the Evolution of Animal Body Plans
GRNs • GRNs: large gene regulatory networks • Control development of the animal body • Evolution of body plans depend upon architecture of development GRNs
Pleiotropic • Pleiotropy describes the genetic effect of a single gene on multiple phenotypic traits.
GRN component • Kernels • Plug-ins • Switches (I/O devices) • Differentiation gene batteries
GRN kernels • Network subcircuits that consist of regulatory genes • Kernels are dedicated to given development of the organism • Kernels have particular form of strcture
Plug-ins • “Plug-ins” consist of GRN subcircuits • Provide inputs into regulatory apparatus
