The focus of this work is to understand the epigenetic orgin of this heterogeneity. For biochemical noise arising from the intrinsic stochasticity of molecular interactions, we have experimentally established a microRNA mediated mechanism through which epigenetically determined rate parameters are optimized to suppress noise in protein abundance. We further explore regulated fluctuations that confer phenotypic specificty in e...
