Abstract  Concept & Model  Requirements  Genetic_circuit  Works  About_our_team

To follow Pareto’s principle like an ant society, our model system must follow the three cases shown in Fig. 1 to 3. In our model, all nodes (individual cells) have the same genetic circuits but take two states, A (worker) and B (idler), depending on the surrounding circumstances.



Condition 1. Bistable state

Model1.jpg
Fig. 1 The system is stable containing nodes A and B at certain ratio.

Condition 2. Unstable state with node A removed

Model2.jpg
Fig. 2 By removal of node A, the system containing only node B becomes unstable.

Condition 3. From unstable to stable state

Model3.jpg
Fig. 3 In the unstable state, some node B become A while the others remain B. The system then becomes stable again.
