Seeing gene regulation as a system
A collaborative exploration of how gene regulatory networks connect cells, tissues, environmental responses, and the limits of computational interpretation.
Where the work began.
A gene's behavior becomes more meaningful when considered within a cell, a tissue, and a changing environment. Our OMICs assignment explored this wider perspective, asking how networks help explain development, homeostasis, stress, and disease.
I collaborated with four classmates on this academic review. It reflects my growing interest in systems-level biological questions and in the evidence needed to support an interpretation.
A shared process.
- 01
The review connected gene regulatory networks with multicellular organization and environmental perturbations.
- 02
It discussed single-cell and spatial omics concepts alongside computational modeling and network interpretation.
- 03
Its concluding discussion emphasized the difference between a computational prediction and a causal relationship supported by experiments.
The work we can point to.
- A group assignment on systems-level gene regulatory dynamics, submitted on 17 December 2025.
- A literature-based discussion connecting regulatory networks, biological context, and experimental validation.
The work is a conceptual review. It does not establish an original sequencing dataset, an applicant-written analysis pipeline, or an experimentally validated model.
