Abstract

We apply symbolic dynamics to analyze dynamical measurements obtained from gene regulations of cells. Dividing the temporal signals of for instance protein concentrations into regimes of monotonic increasing or decreasing levels gives a natural symbolic division which can be applied to guess the underlying negative feed-back loops. We further study how negative feed-back loops can be placed on a hexagonal lattice and investigate the dynamical consequences of that.
