Effect of phenotypic selection on stochastic gene expression.

Abstract excerpt

Genetically identical cells in the same population can take on phenotypically variable states, leading to differentiated responses to external signals, such as nutrients and drug-induced stress. Many models and experiments have focused on a description based on discrete phenotypic states. Here, we consider the effects of selection acting on a single trait, which we explicitly link to the variable number of...
