Adaptive response of a gene network to environmental changes by fitness-induced attractor selection.

Cells switch between various stable genetic programs (attractors) to accommodate environmental conditions. Signal transduction machineries efficiently convey environmental changes to the gene regulation apparatus in order to express the appropriate genetic program. However, since the number of envir...
