摘要
The effects of noise and a periodic signal on a synthetic gene network have been investigated. By tuning the distance of a parameter from the Hopf bifurcation point, both implicit internal signal stochastic resonance and explicit internal signal stochastic resonance can be induced by noise. Furthermore, a switch process can also be elicited. When a periodic signal is coupled to the gene network, two interesting phenomena occur with the modulation of the frequency of the signal: the effect of noise amplifying cellular signal can be inhibited or even destroyed, and "locked" coherence resonance occurs.
