Threshold Logic Gene Regulatory Networks

Gene regulation is an important modeling problem in biology. The deluge of data generated by improved techniques of gene sequencing will not be of much use until we develop accurate and efficient gene regulatory network (GRN) models. In this paper a novel threshold logic gene regulatory model is proposed. This model has been demonstrated to be powerful enough to explain gene interaction and cellular processes. A novel programmable hardware implementation to speed up the gene network simulation is presented. Some insights into the extension of this model are provided.
