Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping holds great promise in elucidating gene regulations and predicting gene networks associated with complex phenotypes. We propose a systems biology approach by incorporating prior pathway information into an eQTL mapping framework, to identify novel pathway regulators that mediate pathway expression changes. We model gene expressions in a predefin...

In order to express specific genes at the right time, the transcription of genes is regulated by the presence and absence of transcription factor molecules. With transcription factor concentrations undergoing constant changes, gene transcription takes place out of equilibrium. In this paper we discuss a simple mapping between dynamic models of gene expression and stochastic systems driven out o...
