Designer Gene Networks: Towards Fundamental Cellular Control
The engineered control of cellular function through the design of synthetic genetic networks is becoming plausible. Here we show how a naturally occurring network can be used as a parts list for artificial network design, and how model formulation leads ...

Global analysis of host response to induction of a latent bacteriophage
Background The transition from viral latency to lytic growth involves complex interactions among host and viral factors, and the extent to which host physiology is buffered from the virus during induction of lysis is not known. A reasonable hypothesis is

Fixed points and limit cycles in the population dynamics of lysogenic viruses and their hosts
Starting with stochastic rate equations for the fundamental interactions between microbes and their viruses, we derive a mean field theory for the population dynamics of microbe-virus systems, including the effects of lysogeny. In the absence of lysogeny,

Coupling of DNA Replication and Negative Feedback Controls Gene Expression for Cell-Fate Decisions
Summary: Cellular decision-making arises from the expression of genes along a regulatory cascade, which leads to a choice between distinct phenotypic states. DNA dosage variations, often introduced by replication, can significantly affect gene expression

Interaction of Bacteriophage l with Its E. coli Receptor, LamB
The initial step of viral infection is the binding of a virus onto the host cell surface. This first viral-host interaction would determine subsequent infection steps and the fate of the entire infection process.
