Equation to describe competition between genes
Biologists typically conduct experiments first, and then develop models afterward to show how data fit with theory. New research flips that practice on its head. A biophysicist tackles questions in cellular biology as a physicist would -- by first formulating a model that can make predictions and then testing those predictions. This research group has recently developed a mathematical model that accounts for the way genes compete with each other for the proteins that regulate their expression.
