Biological oscillations have attracted widespread interest from experimentalists, with the in vivo design of synthetic oscillators, and from mathematicians, with the study of limit cycles. Oscillations in protein concentrations or gene expression are supposed to be involved in the generation of the rhythms observed in the cell. In many situations, oscillations are originated by negative feedback loops. In [54] we have studied the oscillatory regimes of a negative feedback oscillator and derived the probability of having oscillations.
