Heterogeneity is not always a source of noise: Stochastic gene expression in regulatory heterozygote

J Jang, F Amblard, CM Ghim - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
Zygosity of diploid genome (ie, degree to which two parental alleles of a gene have varied
genetic sequences) adds another dimension to stochastic gene expression. The allelic …
