A bacterial cell was cleverly edited to produce the marker green fluorescent protein if exposed to a toxic chemical. Now, if the bacterium is placed into a media containing the toxic chemical, it fluorescences green. How would you name the network that is underlying the process?
Question
A bacterial cell was cleverly edited to produce the marker green fluorescent protein if exposed to a toxic chemical. Now, if the bacterium is placed into a media containing the toxic chemical, it fluorescences green. How would you name the network that is underlying the process?
Solution
The network underlying this process can be referred to as a "Genetic Regulatory Network". This is because the process involves the regulation of gene expression in the bacterial cell, which is triggered by the presence of the toxic chemical. The gene for green fluorescent protein is expressed, leading to the production of the protein and the subsequent fluorescence of the bacterium.
