The coherent feed-forward loop acts as an efficient information transmitting motif
We present a theoretical formalism to study steady state information transmission in type 1 coherent feed-forward loop motif with an additive signal integration mechanism. Our construct allows a two-step cascade to be slowly transformed into a bifurcation network via a feed-forward loop which is a prominent network motif. Utilizing a Gaussian framework, we show that the feed-forward loop motif harnesses the maximum amount of Shannon mutual information fractions constructed between the input signaling species and the final gene product and also between the two downstream gene products. Our findings may explain why a feed-forward loop is naturally selected by the force of evolution as a motif in bacterial transcription control network while the two-step cascade and bifurcation network are not.

Interplay of degeneracy and non-degeneracy in fluctuations propagation in coherent feed-forward loop motif
We present a stochastic framework to decipher fluctuations propagation in classes of coherent feed-forward loops. The systematic contribution of the direct (one-step) and indirect (two-step) pathways is considered to qua…
Identifying the sources of noise synergy and redundancy in the feed-forward loop motif
The propagation of noise through parallel regulatory pathways is a prominent feature of feed-forward loops in genetic networks. Although the contributions of the direct and indirect regulatory pathways of feed-forward lo…
Inversion-free feedforward hysteresis control using Preisach operator
We introduce a new inversion-free feedforward hysteresis control using the Preisach model. The feedforward scheme has a high-gain integral loop structure with Preisach hysteresis operator in negative feedback. This allow…
Detection of persistent signals and its relation to coherent feedforward loops
Many studies have shown that cells use temporal dynamics of signalling molecules to encode information. One particular class of temporal dynamics is persistent and transient signals, i.e. signals of long and short durati…
