Collective behavior in gene regulation: the cell is an oscillator, the cell cycle a developmental process.

Abstract excerpt

The finding of a genome-wide oscillation in transcription that gates cells into S phase and coordinates mitochondrial and metabolic functions has altered our understanding of how the cell cycle is timed and how stable cellular phenotypes are maintained. Here we present the evidence and arguments in support of the idea that everything oscillates, and the rationale for viewing the cell as an attractor from which...
