Gene/Protein parameters derived directly from the genome.

The parameters above are encoded for each gene/protein in the chromosome as a “parameter block” and govern the gene and its derived protein dynamics in the gene-protein network. The model separates the activation dynamics, controlling the ability of the gene-protein to affect other genes-proteins, and the production dynamics that controls the protein's concentration, by having different slopes β•, thresholds θ•, and time constants τ•: βa, θa, τa for each gene/protein to control the dynamics of the activation and θp, βp, τp to control the dynamics of the protein production.
