Non-Markovian Effect on Gene Transcriptional Systems

The time delays in both synthesis and degradation reactions, reflecting the non-Markovian behavior, are intro- duced in the stochastic gene transcriptional dynamics. The effects of the time delays on the stationary proba- bility distribution, mean first passage time and stochastic resonance are disc...

Summary:The time delays in both synthesis and degradation reactions, reflecting the non-Markovian behavior, are intro- duced in the stochastic gene transcriptional dynamics. The effects of the time delays on the stationary proba- bility distribution, mean first passage time and stochastic resonance are discussed in detail based on the delayed stochastic differential equation and the corresponding delay Fokker-Planck equation. The time delays in synthesis reactions and in degradation reactions play a completely opposite role. The time delay in synthesis (degradation) reaction enhances (reduces) the mean first passage time, and tends to reduce (enhance) the signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, the effect of Causs-distributed time delays on the transcriptional system is explored to test whether the previous approximation of employing a certain delay time works well or not.
