Before revision: The concept of a nested canalizing Boolean function has been studied over the last decade in the context of understanding the regulatory logic of molecular interaction networks, such as gene regulatory networks . Such networks are predominantly governed by nested canalizing functions . Derrida values are frequently used to analyze the robustness of a Boolean network to perturbations.
After revision: The concept of a nested canalizing Boolean function has been studied over the last decade in the context of understanding the regulatory logic of molecular interaction networks, such as gene regulatory networks , represented by time- and state-discrete dynamical systems taking on multiple states. The focus is on networks governed by nested canalizing functions . Derrida values are frequently used to analyze the robustness of a Boolean network to perturbations.
