title: External noise and feedback regulation: steady-state statistics of auto-regulatory genetic network.
abstract: The steady-state statistics of a single gene auto-regulatory genetic network with the additive external Gaussian white noises is investigated. The main result shows that the negative feedback will result in that the mRNA noise has a positive contribution to the protein noise, but the positive feedback will result in that the mRNA noise has a negative contribution to the protein noise. If there is no feed back, then the contribution of mRNA noise to protein noise is always positive. On the other hand, the analysis and numerical simulations of linear and nonlinear feedback show that it is possible that the negative feedback increases, but the positive feedback decreases, the protein noise.
