Table 1 Simulated genetics in an individual

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
