Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to understand differentiation dynamics of stem cells using computational models. We screened gene regulatory networks which can generate stem cell differentiation dynamics to identify general features of the differentiation dynamics. As results, we found that stem cells generally have oscillatory expression dynamics, and also identified characteristics of regulatory networks generating such differentiation dynamics. Based on these understandings, we constructed a computational model to represent differentiation dynamics in mouse early development.
