Here's a list of papers that we think are interesting or useful (still very much a work in progress...):

Introduction to stochastic effects in gene expression

1. Ko MS, Nakauchi H, and Takahashi N. . pmid:2167833. PubMed HubMed [ko-emboj-90]

   A surprisingly modern analysis of non-genetic variability in gene expression in mammalian cells.

2. Elowitz MB, Levine AJ, Siggia ED, and Swain PS. . pmid:12183631. PubMed HubMed [elowitz-science-02]

   A beautiful demonstration that variability in gene expression is intrinsically random.

3. Ozbudak EM, Thattai M, Kurtser I, Grossman AD, and van Oudenaarden A. . pmid:11967532. PubMed HubMed [ozbudak-natgen-02]

   Perhaps the first demonstration of the dependence of variability upon biochemical parameters.

Developmental biology

4. Berg HC and Purcell EM. . pmid:911982. PubMed HubMed [berg-biophysj-77]

   A classic paper about the physical limits of receptor function.

5. Gregor T, Tank DW, Wieschaus EF, and Bialek W. . pmid:17632062. PubMed HubMed [gregor-cell-07]
6. Wernet MF, Mazzoni EO, Celik A, Duncan DM, Duncan I, and Desplan C. . pmid:16525464. PubMed HubMed [wernet-nature06]

   A technical tour de force in which the authors show that stochastic expression established the retinal mosaic in fruit flies.
