text: "The expression of a gene is characterised by its transcription factors and
the function processing them. If the transcription factors are not affected by
gene products, the regulating function is often represented as a combinational
logic circuit, where the outputs (product) are determined by current input values
(transcription factors) only, and are hence independent on their relative arrival
times. However, the simultaneous arrival of transcription factors (TFs) in genetic
circuits is a strong assumption, given that the processes of transcription and
translation of a gene into a protein introduce intrinsic time delays and that
there is no global synchronisation among the arrival times of different molecular
species at molecular targets.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we construct an experimentally
implementable genetic circuit with two inputs and a single output, such that,
in presence of small delays in input arrival, the circuit exhibits qualitatively
distinct observable phenotypes. In particular, these phenotypes are long lived
transients: they all converge to a single value, but so slowly, that they seem
stable for an extended time period, longer than typical experiment duration. We
used rule-based language to prototype our circuit, and we implemented a search
for finding the parameter combinations raising the phenotypes of interest.\r\n\r\nThe
behaviour of our prototype circuit has wide implications. First, it suggests that
GRNs can exploit event timing to create phenotypes. Second, it opens the possibility
that GRNs are using event timing to react to stimuli and memorise events, without
explicit feedback in regulation. From the modelling perspective, our prototype
circuit demonstrates the critical importance of analysing the transient dynamics
at the promoter binding sites of the DNA, before applying rapid equilibrium assumptions."
