Abstract

Gene regulatory networks are dynamic and stochastic in nature, and exhibit exquisite feedback and feedforward control loops that regulate their biological function at different levels. Modelling of such networks poses new challenges due, in part, to the small number of molecules involved and the stochastic nature of their interactions. In this article, we motivate the stochastic modelling of genetic networks and demonstrate the approach using several examples. We discuss the mathematics of molecular noise models including the chemical master equation, the chemical Langevin equation, and the reaction rate equation. We then discuss numerical simulation approaches using the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) and its variants. Finally, we present some recent advances for dealing with stochastic stiffness, which is the key challenge in efficiently simulating stochastic chemical kinetics.

A brief overview is given of the structure and evolution of gene transcription regulatory networks (GTRNs) of simple organisms like Escherichia coli and yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A prominent motif appearing in the GTRNs is the feed forward loop (FFL). The FFLs have essential functions in gene

## Abstract Developmental processes in complex animals are directed by a hardwired genomic regulatory code, the ultimate function of which is to set up a progression of transcriptional regulatory states in space and time. The code specifies the gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that underlie all majo
