A Boolean Network Approach to Estrogen Transcriptional Regulation

Figure 3

Excerpt of the attractor landscape. Fan-like representation of a set of 4 attractors of the attractor landscape of the estrogen/estrogen receptor network. Each point represents a state of the network. Connections represent temporal succession between states, with the outward points representing preceding states (see black arrow). Same colored fans represent a collection of states that lead to the same future state of the network (e.g., red dashed circle). A cyclic attractor of size = 2 is also represented (see blue and purple circular arrows). The length of the connections is inconsequential as all time steps between states are fixed.
