Description:

From this course the student will know how to do exact stochastic simulations, delayed stochastic simulations, and how to create models of delayed stochastic gene regulatory networks. Students will become familiar with detailed models and experimental results related to single gene expression and its underlying mechanisms. Also, the student will be introduced to basic concepts of cell type and cell differentiation and learn the latest modeling techniques in these topics.
