Network Design - Part 1
Generating a FIFO sequential order of expressionA clock that would only indicate one hour, would not be very useful. The same goes for our BacteriO'clock. It is necessary that we add several distinct events in each cycle. We want to use three genes activated successively. The easiest way to control a sequential expression of genes : the LIFO order
This order poses a real problem to us : several states of the system are redundant (Table 1). We can not accept a clock that would display twice the same hour !
The rules to generate a FIFO temporal orderImplementation of our FIFOIn the FIFO you could start by saying we were looking for a FIFO and rather than designing it from scratch we decided to look in nature where we found and adopted the flagella which then inspired us further |
