Gene networks of fully connected triads with complete auto-activation enable multistability and stepwise stochastic transitions.

Fully-connected triads (FCTs), such as the Oct4-Sox2-Nanog triad, have been implicated as recurring transcriptional motifs embedded within the regulatory networks that specify and maintain cellular states. To explore the possible connections between FCT topologies and cell fate determinations, we em...
