Genetic Circuits
BIOL-UA 525
In this discussion-based class we will build a bottom-up understanding of the architecture and function of genetic circuits by analyzing simple cases in bacterial cells. These will include genetic circuits that undergo oscillatory, switch-like, and excitatory dynamics. Our central strategy for understanding these genetic circuits will be to use computational techniques to model their dynamics and to compare our theoretical results to experimental data derived from primary scientific literature.
