Rules for biological regulation based on error minimization.

Abstract excerpt

The control of gene expression involves complex mechanisms that show large variation in design. For example, genes can be turned on either by the binding of an activator (positive control) or the unbinding of a repressor (negative control). What determines the choice of mode of control for each gene? This study proposes rules for gene regulation based on the assumption that free regulatory sites are exposed to...
