Pervasive coexpression of spatially proximal genes is buffered at the protein level

G Kustatscher, P Grabowski… - Molecular systems …, 2017 - embopress.org
Genes are not randomly distributed in the genome. In humans, 10% of protein‐coding genes
are transcribed from bidirectional promoters and many more are organised in larger clusters …

Revealing dynamics of gene expression variability in cell state space

D Grün - Nature methods, 2020 - nature.com
To decipher cell state transitions from single-cell transcriptomes it is crucial to quantify weak
expression of lineage-determining factors, which requires computational methods that are …

[HTML][HTML] Large-scale genetic perturbations reveal regulatory networks and an abundance of gene-specific repressors

P Kemmeren, K Sameith, LAL Van De Pasch… - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
To understand regulatory systems, it would be useful to uniformly determine how different
components contribute to the expression of all other genes. We therefore monitored mRNA …

Variability in gene expression underlies incomplete penetrance

A Raj, SA Rifkin, E Andersen, A Van Oudenaarden - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
The phenotypic differences between individual organisms can often be ascribed to
underlying genetic and environmental variation. However, even genetically identical …

Positive selection for elevated gene expression noise in yeast

Z Zhang, W Qian, J Zhang - Molecular systems biology, 2009 - embopress.org
It is well known that the expression noise is lessened by natural selection for genes that are
important for cell growth or are sensitive to dosage. In theory, expression noise can also be …

Identifying single-cell molecular programs by stochastic profiling

KA Janes, CC Wang, KJ Holmberg, K Cabral… - Nature …, 2010 - nature.com
Cells in tissues can be morphologically indistinguishable yet show molecular expression
patterns that are remarkably heterogeneous. Here we describe an approach to …
