From homogeneity to heterogeneity: Refining stochastic simulations of gene regulation by Seok Joo Chae, Seolah Shin, Kangmin Lee, Seunggyu Lee, Jae Kyoung Kim

“…In this study, we evaluated whether stochastic simulations based on the assumption of spatial homogeneity can accurately capture the dynamics of gene regulation. Our findings indicate that when transcription factors diffuse slowly, these simulations fail to accurately capture gene expression, highlighting the necessity to account for spatial heterogeneity. …”
