Modulation of first-passage time for bursty gene expression via random signals by Qiuying Li, Lifang Huang, Jianshe Yu

“…The stochastic nature of cell-specific signal molecules (such as transcription factor, ribosome, etc.) and the intrinsic stochastic nature of gene expression process result in cell-to-cell variations at protein levels. Increasing experimental evidences suggest that cell phenotypic variations often depend on the accumulation of some special proteins. …”
