Abstract excerpt
Multiple steady-state levels of autoregulatory transcription factors constitute alternative epigenetic states, and could help specify the heritable phenotype of an organism. In this work, the inheritance of autoregulatory transcription factors through sexual reproduction is modeled to determine the conditions under which different alternative epigenetic states become fixed in a population. The influence of...
