Transient hysteresis and inherent stochasticity in gene regulatory networks

Cell fate commitment is understood in terms of bistable regulatory circuits with hysteresis, but inherent stochasticity in gene expression is incompatible with hysteresis. Here, the authors quantify how, under slow dynamics, the dependency of the non-stationary solutions on the initial state of the...
