Abstract
Recently, synthesis of gene networks having desired functions has become of interest to many researchers because it is a complementary approach to understanding gene networks, and it could be the first step in controlling living cells. There exist several periodic phenomena in cells, e.g. circadian rhythm. These phenomena are considered to be generated by gene networks. We have already proposed synthesis method of gene networks based on gene expression. The method is applicable to synthesizing gene networks possessing the desired cyclic expression pattern sequences. It ensures that realized expression pattern sequences are periodic, however, it does not ensure that their corresponding solution trajectories are periodic, which might bring that their oscillations are not persistent. In this paper, in order to resolve the problem we propose a synthesis method of gene networks possessing the desired cyclic expression pattern sequences together with their corresponding solution trajectories being periodic. In the proposed method the persistent oscillations of the solution trajectories are realized by specifying passing points of them.
