Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Gene expression is random owing to the low copy numbers of molecules in a living cell and the best way to study it is by use of a stochastic method, specifically the chemical master equation. The method is used here to derive analytically the invariant probability distributions, and expressions for the moments and noise strength for a simple gene model without feedback. Sensitivity analysis, emphasizing particularly the dependence of the probability distributions, the moments, and noise strength is carried out using Metabolic Control Analysis, which uses control coefficients that measure the response of observables when parameters change. Bifurcation analysis is also carried out. The results show that the number of mRNA molecules follows a hypergeometric probability distribution, and that noise decreases as the number of these molecules increases. Metabolic Control Analysis was successfully extended to genetic control mechanisms, with the obtained control coefficients satisfying a summation theorem. The system undergoes stochastic bifurcations as parameters change.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
