Thermal fluctuations at the molecular scale cause random fluctuations of gene expression, which, in association with differentiation circuits, can lead to phenotypic diversification in cell populations. In this synthesis article, we detail the mechanisms that generate this diversification and illustrate their consequences in various organisms. In bacteria, random phenotypic diversification allows to anticipate...
