Effects of advance or delay in timing of transcriptional induction of activator or inhibitor.

<p>Time for the active form (TR*) to reach a threshold is registered versus the time difference between transcriptional initiation of the activator (green) or inhibitor (red). Rectangles show averages, shaded backgrounds show ± standard deviations from 1000 simulations at a given transcriptional advance (negative values on x-axis) or delay (positive values) compared to TR transcription.
