Hackathon
- Read the papers above (and more if you want!). In particular, get into the details of the model introduced in the Barkai and Leibler paper.
- Cleanly write down the mathematical model with a clear description of what the various terms and parameters represent. Try and gain an intuition for not just the language of the model (mathematics) but what each bit of mathematics corresponds to in the real system. List what the model is assuming, and what it is ignoring.
- Paper-pencil time. Before we go to the computer let's try and get some feel for what this model might do.
- Simulate in MATLAB.
- What are some of the features that you think aren't appropriate for chemotaxis, or adaptation more generally? How does the adaptation time scale? Is the system equally sensitive regardless of the mean?
- Please perform your simulations in MATLAB, upload the final code and your plots here.
