Modeling of gap gene regulatory networks in Drosophila with the account of the gene modular structure (in Russian)
Genes are frequently regulated in complex manners, necessitating modelling approaches which go beyond simple (linear) gene-to-gene interactions and address the modularity of cis-regulatory regions and alternate transcription initiation sites. In particular, sharp expression patterns (peaks or stripes) indicate that gene regulation involves nonlinear transcription factor kinetics (beyond first-order). We propose a methodology for approaching this problem, using the example of the multiple cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) and two transcripts (P1 and P2) found in the Drosophila hunchback (hb) and (CD1 and CD2)in Kruppel (Kr) genes, the genes expressed along the anteroposterior axis of the embryo. The positional characteristics of the mRNA expression patterns are studied for their sensitivity to the variation of the input factors and initial conditions.

Physically-Inspired Gaussian Process Models for Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Drosophila
The regulatory process of Drosophila is thoroughly studied for understanding a great variety of biological principles. While pattern-forming gene networks are analysed in the transcription step, post-transcriptional even…

While most processes in biology are highly deterministic, stochastic mechanisms are sometimes used to increase cellular diversity, such as in the specification of sensory receptors. In the human and Drosophila eye, photo…

Quantitatively predicting phenotype variables by the expression changes in a set of candidate genes is of great interest in molecular biology but it is also a challenging task for several reasons. First, the collected bi…
A statistical fat-tail test of predicting regulatory regions in the Drosophila genome
A statistical study of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) is presented based on the estimation of similar-word set distribution. It is observed that CRMs tend to have a fat-tail distribution. A new statistical fat-tail test w…
