NOTE - I made a slight mistake in the if / elif statement checks in this video. The "less than" conditions should actually be "less than or equal to". Failing to check for the equality can lead to errors in rare cases where the random product exactly equals the sum of the rates. So I have updated the code to be correct on Github. Sorry about that!





This video is about the Python code we can use to run the Gillespie Algorithm for a simulation the transcription of mRNA from a gene.

Here is a link to the original Gillespie paper:

Here is a video of Jeff Gore, an MIT professor, explaining the Gillespie Algorithm in more depth:

All the code from my videos is available on my Github:
