1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Microorganisms (mainly bacteria and yeast) are frequently used as hosts for genetic constructs in synthetic biology applications. Molecular noise might have a significant effect on the dynamics of gene regulation in microbial cells, mainly attributed to the low copy numbers of mRNA species involved. However, the inclusion of molecular noise in the automated design of biocircuits is not a common practice due to the computational burden linked to the chemical master equation describing the dynamics of stochastic gene regulatory circuits. Here, we address the automated design of synthetic gene circuits under the effect of molecular noise combining a mixed integer nonlinear global optimization method with a partial integro-differential equation model describing the evolution of stochastic gene regulatory systems that approximates very efficiently the chemical master equation. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed methodology through a number of examples of relevance in synthetic biology, including different bimodal stochastic gene switches, robust stochastic oscillators, and circuits capable of achieving biochemical adaptation under noise.
