Improving gene regulatory network models with RNA levels in absolute units
Recalibrating models using absolute – instead of relative – mass units makes it possible to test modelled transcription rates against biochemical data.
Two decades of “virtual” plant simulations: what’s next?
The FSPM approach has demonstrated considerable progress, but has yet to reach its full potential in terms of integration and heuristic knowledge production.
From genes to networks: genetic control of root growth (Invited Review)
This review first describes the root system and then presents fundamental work that has shed light on the basic regulatory principles of root growth and development.
Italian Genetics Societies in Assisi: staple foods and orphan crops via epigenomics and systems biology
The three Genetics Societies in Italy – AGI, SIBV and SIGA – held a strong joint conference in Assisi in September. With 500 people and 300 posters, the major sessions were on topical issues such as epigenetics and epigenomics, then genome plasticity, moving on to systems biology. , Approaches included whole genome sequencing, annotation and functional analysis, and focussed on many crops and some animal genetics
