✦ Synopsis

Multiple steady-state levels of autoregulatory transcription factors constitute alternative epigenetic states, and could help specify the heritable phenotype of an organism. In this work, the inheritance of autoregulatory transcription factors through sexual reproduction is modeled to determine the conditions under which different alternative epigenetic states become fixed in a population. The influence of transient environmental perturbations on the fixation of states is discussed in the context of speciation.

The calculation of the survival probability of a selectively advantageous allele is a central part of the quantitative theory of genetic evolution.

Mammalian development can be viewed as a series of restrictions in cell potency. As the embryo undergoes cleavage, implantation and gastrulation, cell potency is gradually restricted (with the exception of the germline) until cells commit to a particular pathway of differentiation.
