X Abstract

We show that noise-induced oscillations in a gene circuit model display stochastic coherence, that is, a maximum in the regularity of the oscillations as a function of noise amplitude. The effect is manifest as a system-size effect in a purely stochastic molecular reaction description of the circuit dynamics. We compare the molecular reaction model behavior with that predicted by a rate equation version of the same system. In addition, we show that commonly used reduced models that ignore fast operator reactions do not capture the full stochastic behavior of the gene circuit. Stochastic coherence occurs under conditions that may be physiologically relevant.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
