Using coupled differential equations, we are modeling the repressilator, which is a network of three genes, whose product proteins are repressing each other's growth. This cycle is taking place in each of a colony of cells, who communicate amongst themselves by exchanging an autoinducer molecule. The model attempts to take into account a sparse, heterogeneous distribution of cells with depletion of the autoinducer molecule and leakage. | Using coupled differential equations, we are modeling the repressilator, which is a network of three genes, whose product proteins are repressing each other's growth.
