Solving stochastic gene-expression models using queueing theory: A tutorial review

Abstract
En 中文
Stochastic models of gene expression are typically formulated using the chemical master equation, which can be solved exactly or approximately using a repertoire of analytical methods. Here, we provide a tutorial review of an alternative approach based on queueing theory that has rarely been used in the literature of gene expression. We discuss the interpretation of six types of infinite-server queues from the angle of stochastic single-cell biology and provide analytical expressions for the stationary and nonstationary distributions and/or moments of mRNA/protein numbers and bounds on the Fano factor. This approach may enable the solution of complex models that have hitherto evaded analytical solution.
