Abstract

Random boolean networks are a model of genetic regulatory networks that has proven able to describe experimental data in biology. Random boolean networks not only reproduce important phenomena in cell dynamics, but they are also extremely interesting from a theoretical viewpoint, since it is possible to tune their asymptotic behaviour from order to disorder. The usual approach characterizes network families as a whole, either by means of static or dynamic measures. We show here that a more detailed study, based on the properties of system’s attractors, can provide information that makes it possible to predict with higher precision important properties, such as system’s response to gene knock-out. A new set of principled measures is introduced, that explains some puzzling behaviours of these networks. These results are not limited to random Boolean network models, but they are general and hold for any discrete model exhibiting similar dynamical characteristics.

Fußnoten
1
An attractor basin is the set of states whose evolution lead to the attractor, its size (or dimension) being the cardinality of the set.
 
2
We remind that in disordered systems trajectories starting from nearby points typically lead to different attractors.
 
3
The estimation is performed on many different initial conditions.
 
4
In this case, the averages are around 1, as the ensemble considered is the first historical example of critical systems.
 
5
An odd number of nodes avoids the cases with equal quantity of 0s and 1s.
 
6
For the reasons discussed above.
 
7
See (Serra et al. 2007b) for details on the calculation of these coefficients.
