Title Delay stochastic simulation of a complete eukaryotic gene expression
Abstract There are several steps in gene expression: transcription, splicing, mRNA transport, and translation. Though many stochastic models have been developed to simulate these steps, the big number of the stochastic equations had been a draw back. With the recently proposed delay model, however, this number has been greatly reduced. By applying stochastic simulations to the delay model, we study the rate of protein synthesis at a given time and the rate distribution. The effect that various parameters (especially delays) have on the protein levels as well as the protein production fluctuations and their magnitudes are also shown.
