Article Title: Pinetree: a step-wise gene expression simulator with codon-specific translation rates

doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btz203

Figure Lengend Snippet: Design and example output of Pinetree. Pinetree is a generic gene expression simulator that tracks individual RNA polymerases on DNA, and ribosome and RNases on mRNA transcripts. RNases are optional and Pinetree can simulate gene expression with or without transcript degradation. (A) A specialized set of reactions mediates binding and movement of ribosomes, RNA polymerases and RNases. These reactions convert molecules from a species pool into individually modeled ribosomes, polymerases, and RNases. (B) Pinetree tracks individual ribosomes and RNA polymerases on transcripts and DNA, respectively. Lightning bolts represent potential collisions. Ribosomes may begin translation before a full transcript has been synthesized by the RNA polymerases. Likewise, an RNase may begin degrading an RNA transcript before the polymerase has synthesized the full transcript. Together, Pinetree allows the end user to define arbitrary reactions between molecules in the free species pool, while still modeling transcription and translation at the single-molecule level. (C) Simulation of a three-gene plasmid with one gene (proteinY) recoded to use rare codons. No RNases are present in this simulation, so no degradation occurs. Translation of proteinY is slower than that of proteinX and rnapol. (D) Ribosome densities on the transcript of proteinY are higher in the recoded gene than in the wild-type. The recoded gene has lower per-codon translation rates than that of the wild-type
