Negative Feedback and Physical Limits of Genes [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 248:1 (2011) 82-91, 2014 This paper compares the auto-repressed gene to a simple one (a gene without auto-regulation) in terms of response time and output noise under the assumption of fixed metabolic cost. The analysis shows that, in the case of non-vanishing leak expression rate, the negative feedback reduces both the switching on and switching off times of a gene. The noise

Molecular mechanisms that regulate the coupled period of the mammalian circadian clock [PDF]
Biophyjical Journal 106 (2014), 2014 In mammals, most cells in the brain and peripheral tissues generate circadian (~24hr) rhythms autonomously. These self-sustained rhythms are coordinated and entrained by a master circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Within the SCN, the individual rhythms of each neuron are synchronized through intercellular signaling.
