Abstract
Stochastic time delays and asynchronism in regulatory networks is an ubiquitous phenomena in biology, in particular in regulatory networks. However, this phenomena is poorly understood. In particular, variable-stochastic time intervals in the realization of chemical reactions have a crucial effect in the dynamics of the system. I analyze the effect that different time delays in feedback loops can have in the transient behavior of a regulatory network. Using a simple toy model for a regulatory network with forcing I show that such time delays introduce an oscillatory behavior that can alternatively be explained if additional loops are defined. The results suggest that the introduction of time delays is a mechanism that is helpful to theoretically reduce the number of elements, in particular the number of feedback loops, in competing network models.
