Modeling and prediction of gene-expression patterns reconsidered with Runge-Kutta discretization

Many problems in computational genetics and bioinformatics consist in modeling and prediction of gene-expression patterns. Established on a finite time-series of experiments or samples and using least squares approximation, we obtain a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations which represents the time-continuous dynamics of the genetical process, before we turn it to a time-discrete system. In this paper, we partially sophisticate pioneering work by using Runge-Kutta instead of Euler discretization, especially, Trapezoidal rule. Herewith, we prepare a modification for the Euler discretization based time-discrete dynamics and stability analysis such that it becomes more appropriate for the underlying genetical or medical process.
