Conceptual model of core regulatory elements. A Conceptual model of a transcriptional regulatory network with core nodes (squares) operating in a strongly-connected subnetwork of mutual activation (arrows) and repression (short bars), together with outputs of the core (circles). Output nodes transmit the transcriptional signal that is generated by the core, but which diminishes as it moves away from core nodes. B Illustrations of transcript abundance profiles exhibited by the core and its output nodes, with core nodes having oscillations that have a precise match to a specified period (shaded region) and large variations in expression
