Beyond the mean: genetic control of gene expression fidelity and dispersion

2026-04-03

Abstract excerpt

For decades, molecular biologists have interpreted gene regulation through measurements of mean gene expression, because they could not resolve regulatory variation among individual cells. The advent of single-cell genomics has now made that variation measurable, revealing pervasive differences in gene expression among apparently similar cells. Whether this variation mainly reflects stochastic noise or an informat...
