How to model DNA replication in stochastic models of synthetic gene circuits (and why)

Abstract

Biocircuit modeling sometimes requires explicit tracking of a self-replicating DNA species. The most obvious, straightforward way to model a replicating DNA is structurally unstable and leads to pathological model behavior. We describe a simple, stable replication mechanism with good model behavior and show how to derive it from a mechanistic model of ColE1 replication.
