Clocks and timers in genetic networks. — •Jose Negrete JR1,2, Ivan M. Lengyel1,3, Laurel A Rohde2, Andrew C.

Genetic oscillations are noisy and in many cases, as in embryo development, short lived. We present a model of a noisy transcription factor that controls the timing and amplitude of an stochastic genetic oscillator. The transcription factor determines how long the oscillator is on and it is denominated as a timer, while the genetic oscillator is denominated as a clock due to its repetitive nature. The model is given by a single delay differential equation, and we show analytically the set of measurable parameters that characterises it. The predictions of the model were tested by analysing two different cases: self sustained genetic oscillations from cycardian rhythms and in the transient oscillatory gene expression from cells extracted from the presomitic mesoderm of zebrafish embryos.
