A simple negative interaction in the positive transcriptional feedback of a single gene is sufficient to produce reliable oscillations.

Negative and positive transcriptional feedback loops are present in natural and synthetic genetic oscillators. A single gene with negative transcriptional feedback needs a time delay and sufficiently strong nonlinearity in the transmission of the feedback signal in order to produce biochemical rhyth...
