geneukt
Geneukt is a fictional framework for modeling gene regulation and expression dynamics. It is used in educational and speculative contexts to explore how networks of genes interact to produce cellular outcomes. The core idea is to represent genes as nodes in a directed graph and regulatory influences as labeled edges, with a compact notation to encode activation, repression, and combinatorial control.
Origin and terminology: Geneukt is a coinage that appears in science fiction and didactic writings rather than
Structure and dynamics: In geneukt models, each gene's state is determined by the states of its regulators
Applications and limitations: Geneukt is used mainly in classrooms and thought experiments to illustrate network motifs,
Reception: Within fiction and education, geneukt serves as a didactic tool; in real-world biology, researchers rely
