Development genetic networks

Genetic Network Cascade in Drosophila Segment Development... 

Many methods have been developed for model analysis for instance, bifurcation and stability analysis [88, 89], parameter sensitivity analysis [90], metabolic control analysis [16, 17, 91] and biochemical systems analysis [18]. One highly important method for model analysis and especially for large models, such as many silicon cell models, is model reduction. Model reduction has a long history in the analysis of biochemical reaction networks and in the analysis of nonlinear dynamics (slow and fast manifolds) [92-104]. In all cases, the aim of model reduction is to derive a simplified model from a larger ancestral model that satisfies a number of criteria. In the following sections we describe a relatively new form of model reduction for biochemical reaction networks, such as metabolic, signaling, or genetic networks. 

We repeat these simple examples from earlier work since they form a major justification for the elaborations we report below, and if they are understood well, then much of what follows should be clear. The dynamics in the differential equations are in qualitative agreement with the dynamics in the synthetic genetic networks in E. coU. One important aspect of biology is to understand the ways in which the organization and structure of the control networks can be used to predict the dynamics. Thus, we would like to develop methods that could be used to predict the dynamic behaviors just demonstrated without integrating or carrying out the stability analysis of the differential equations.

The identification of genetic networks is a crucial basis for bioinformatics and an interesting experimental technique has been developed. 

The development of the power-law formalism, reviewed briefly In the first portion of this paper, began with a consideration of the fundamental nonllnearltles that characterize the kinetic behavior of biological systems at the molecular level (2,5). From this molecular-biological context a "dynamical systems" approach to biochemical and genetic networks was developed (3-7,11,42).

Concomitantly with the increase in hardware capabilities, better software techniques will have to be developed. It will pay us to continue to learn how nature tackles problems. Artificial neural networks are a far cry away from the capabilities of the human brain. There is a lot of room left from the information processing of the human brain in order to develop more powerful artificial neural networks. Nature has developed over millions of years efficient optimization methods for adapting to changes in the environment. The development of evolutionary and genetic algorithms will continue. 

New developments which have still to be checked for their usability in data evaluation of depth profiles are artificial neural networks [2.16, 2.21-2.25], fuzzy clustering [2.26, 2.27] and genetic algorithms [2.28]. 

Dietary consumption of polyphenols is associated with a lower risk of degenerative diseases. In particular, protection of serum lipids from oxidation, which is a major step in the development of arteriosclerosis, has been demonstrated. More recently, new avenues have been explored in the capacity of polyphenols to interact with the expression of the human genetic potential. The understanding of the interaction between this heterogeneous class of compounds and cellular responses, due either to their ability to interplay in the cellular antioxidant network or directly to affect gene expression, has increased.
