Specificity and stability in topology of protein networks

S Maslov, K Sneppen - Science, 2002 - science.org
Molecular networks guide the biochemistry of a living cell on multiple levels: Its metabolic
and signaling pathways are shaped by the network of interacting proteins, whose production, …

Epigenetics as a first exit problem

E Aurell, K Sneppen - Physical review letters, 2002 - APS
We develop a framework to discuss the stability of epigenetic states as first exit problems in
dynamical systems with noise. We consider in particular the stability of the lysogenic state of …

Mean field theory for a simple model of evolution

H Flyvbjerg, K Sneppen, P Bak - Physical review letters, 1993 - APS
A simple dynamical model for Darwinian evolution on its slowest time scale is analyzed. Its
mean field theory is formulated and solved. A random neighbor version of the model is …

Self-organized pinning and interface growth in a random medium

K Sneppen - Physical review letters, 1992 - APS
A new class of interface growth models is proposed, where global equilibration of the driving
force is achieved between each local deposition. Two such models are studied numerically, …

Punctuated equilibrium and criticality in a simple model of evolution

P Bak, K Sneppen - Physical review letters, 1993 - APS
A simple and robust model of biological evolution of an ecology of interacting species is
introduced. The model self-organizes into a critical steady state with intermittent coevolutionary …

Statistical multifragmentation of nuclei

…, AS Botvina, AS Iljinov, IN Mishustin, K Sneppen - Physics Reports, 1995 - Elsevier
This review is devoted to the Statistical Multifragmentation Model (SMFM) developed in
Copenhagen more than 10 years ago and widely used now for interpreting experimental data on …

[HTML][HTML] Theoretical analysis of epigenetic cell memory by nucleosome modification

IB Dodd, MA Micheelsen, K Sneppen, G Thon - Cell, 2007 - cell.com
Chromosomal regions can adopt stable and heritable alternative states resulting in bistable
gene expression without changes to the DNA sequence. Such epigenetic control is often …

Detection of topological patterns in complex networks: correlation profile of the internet

S Maslov, K Sneppen, A Zaliznyak - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2004 - Elsevier
A general scheme for detecting and analyzing topological patterns in large complex
networks is presented. In this scheme the network in question is compared with its properly …

Evolution as a self-organized critical phenomenon.

K Sneppen, P Bak, H Flyvbjerg… - Proceedings of the …, 1995 - National Acad Sciences
We present a simple mathematical model of biological macroevolution. The model describes
an ecology of adapting, interacting species. The environment of any given species is …

Networks and cities: An information perspective

M Rosvall, A Trusina, P Minnhagen, K Sneppen - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
Traffic is constrained by the information involved in locating the receiver and the physical
distance between sender and receiver. We here focus on the former, and investigate traffic in …
