microRNA as a potential vector for the propagation of robustness in protein expression and oscillatory dynamics within a ceRNA network.
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression.miRNAs can induce thresholds in protein synthesis.Such thresholds in protein output can be also achieved by oligomerization of transcription factors (TF) for the control of gene expression.First, we propose a minimal model for protein e
