I found this paper a while ago and have it on my list of things to model: http://arep.med.harvard.edu/pdf/Chen99.pdf.

Ultimately, we could have a full gene-expression-as-a-dynamical-system model which we could perturb and use to study the dynamical features of genetic networks.

Anyone interested in this stuff?

This is a whole field full of multiple PhDs and ongoing research. It's called systems biology.
