EGGTART

EGGTART models and analyzes biophysical transport dynamics using a generalized totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) framework to quantify particle density, flux, and phase behavior relevant to molecular processes such as mRNA translation.

Key Features:

• Generalized TASEP Modeling: Extends TASEP to include extended particle size and heterogeneous jump rates for interacting particles on a lattice.
• Analytic Foundation: Implements analytic formulas derived from the hydrodynamic limit of the generalized TASEP to predict macroscopic transport behavior.
• Quantitative Analysis: Computes quantitative metrics including particle density, flux, and phase diagrams from the analytic solutions.
• Parameter Sensitivity: Enables systematic exploration of how changes in system parameters affect transport dynamics and steady-state regimes.

Scientific Applications:

• Biophysical transport processes: Analyzes interacting-particle transport phenomena in biophysical contexts modeled by TASEP.
• mRNA translation: Models and quantifies mRNA translation dynamics across different coding sequences using the generalized TASEP framework.

Methodology:

Solves the hydrodynamic limit of the generalized TASEP and derives analytic formulas as a computationally efficient alternative to stochastic simulations.
