Before revision:  Dynamical systems can be used to generate a model to predict gene expression using epigenetic data and a gene regulatory network (GRN)  . Here we present a novel stochastic dynamical systems model that predicts gene expression levels from methylation data of genes in a given GRN. 
After revision:  Dynamical systems can be used to generate a model to predict gene expression using epigenetic data and a gene regulatory network (GRN) which can also serve as a mechanistic hypothesis . Here we present a novel stochastic dynamical systems model that predicts gene expression levels from methylation data of genes in a given GRN.
