Transcription Factor Target Gene Network governs the Logical Abstraction Analysis of the Synthetic Circuit in Leishmaniasis

Abstract With the advent of synthetic biology in medicine many synthetic or engineered proteins have made their way to therapeutics and diagnostics. In this paper, the downstream gene network of CD14-TNF-EGFR pathway in leishmaniasis, a tropical disease, is reconstructed. Network analysis showed tha...
