Abstract

One of the first popular applications of Boolean networks for gene regulatory networks corresponds to the Mendoza Alvarez-Buylla network of flower development. In this paper, we consider this model and a reduced version to reconstruct synthetic threshold Boolean networks that have the same asymptotic behavior as these base models. For this, we employ an evolution strategy to search for neighboring solutions. We were able to find solutions with fewer edges as well as networks with more balanced distributions of basins of attractions. Overall, our results show the effectiveness of using evolutionary computation in this application to explore alternative solutions with desired properties.
