Spatio-temporal models of synthetic genetic oscillators by Cicely K. Macnamara, Mark A. J. Chaplain

“…Such proteins are known as transcription factors. If the binding reduces the transcription rate there is a negative feedback leading to oscillatory behaviour in mRNA and protein levels, both spatially (e.g. by observing fluorescently labelled molecules in single cells) and temporally (e.g. by observing protein/mRNA levels over time). …”
