The minimal intrinsic stochasticity of constitutively expressed eukaryotic genes is sub-Poissonian

"Our findings redefine the lower limit of eukaryotic gene expression noise and uncover molecular requirements for achieving ultralow noise, which is expected to be important for vital cellular functions."

Minimizing noise is crucial for ensuring reliable cellular functions.

I am not so sure about this. Noise is inevitable, cells can explore it to regulate gene activities, and probably evolved to do so. No noise, no evolution, no life.

@domhenri i suppose it's a question of how much noise, and in which processes.
