Intrinsic and extrinsic noise sources in gene expression, originating respectively from transcriptional stochasticity and from differences between cells, complicate the determination of transcriptional models. In particularly degenerate cases, the two noise sources are altogether impossible to distinguish. However, the incorporation of downstream processing, such as the mRNA splicing and export implicated in gene expression buffering, recovers the ability to identify the relevant source of noise. We report analytical copy-number distributions, discuss the noise sources qualitative effects on lower moments, and provide simulation routines for both models.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
