We will discuss about “Antithetic Integral Feedback Ensures Robust Perfect Adaptation in Noisy Biomolecular Networks”, Briat, Corentin, Ankit Gupta, and Mustafa Khammash. Cell systems 2.1 (2016): 15-26. Abstract The ability to adapt to stimuli is a defining feature of many biological systems and critical to maintaining homeostasis. While it is well appreciated that negative feedback …

We will discuss about “Single-sample landscape entropy reveals the imminent phase transition during disease progression”, Liu R, Chen P, Chen L., Bioinformatics. 2020 Mar 1;36(5):1522-1532. Abstract Motivation: The time evolution or dynamic change of many biological systems during disease progression is not always smooth but occasionally abrupt, that is, there is a tipping point during …

We will discuss about “The effect of microRNA on protein variability and gene expression fidelity”, Hilfinger, Andreas, and Raymond Fan., Biophysical journal 122.3 (2023): 537a. Abstract Small regulatory RNA molecules such as microRNA modulate gene expression through inhibiting the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA). Such post-transcriptional regulation has been recently hypothesized to reduce the stochastic variability …

We will discuss about “The ups and downs of biological oscillators: A comparison of time-delayed negative feedback mechanisms”,Rombouts, Jan, Sarah Verplaetse, and Lendert Gelens., bioRxiv (2023) Abstract Many biochemical oscillators are driven by the periodic rise and fall of protein concentrations or activities. A negative feedback loop underlies such oscillations. The feedback can act on …

We will discuss about “Comparison of transformations for single-cell RNA-seq data”,Ahlmann-Eltze, Constantin, and Wolfgang Huber, Nature Methods (2023): 1-8. Abstract The count table, a numeric matrix of genes × cells, is the basic input data structure in the analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data. A common preprocessing step is to adjust the counts for variable sampling efficiency and …

We will discuss about “Improving gene regulatory network inference and assessment: The importance of using network structure”, Escorcia-Rodríguez, Juan M., et al., bioRxiv (2023): 2023-01. Abstract Gene regulatory networks are graph models representing cellular transcription events. Networks are far from complete due to time and resource consumption for experimental validation and curation of the interactions. Previous …
