Gene products (RNAs, proteins) often occur at low molecular counts inside individual cells, and hence are subject to considerable random fluctuations (noise) in copy number over time. Not surprisingly, cells encode diverse regulatory…
Transcriptional pulsing has been observed in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and plays a crucial role in cell to cell variability of protein and mRNA numbers. The issue is how the time constants associated with episodes of transcriptional…
