From: A Boolean gene regulatory model of heterosis and speciation
Biological entities | Our simulation |
---|---|
Gene | Node |
Gene activity (e.g. expression, post-translational modification, etc.) | Binary node state |
Regulatory interaction | Connection (edge) between nodes |
Allele | logic function and potential for in- and out-going connections that determine the state of a node and its function in the dynamics of the network |
Gamete | Haploid list of alleles selected at random from a diploid individual, combined with another gamete, forms a new diploid |
