Deskripsi

Expression levels of most genes are proportional to cell volumes, although some genes exhibit nonlinear scaling of expression levels with cell volume. Here the authors provide a model that reveals nonlinear scaling is a direct consequence of heterogeneous recruitment abilities of promoters to RNA polymerases.
