Note on GRN representation

• No single “proper” representation method

• Chosen method depends on aim of study and personal preference

• However, be aware of:

  • the way your representation relates to the “real thing”
  • the type of simplifications that have been made

• Tips:

  • usually, amounts or concentrations do not have negative values
  • simple negative feedback systems are often oscillatory, but the oscillations may well disappear when using smaller time steps, or a less crude representation
