Role of network-mediated stochasticity in mammalian drug resistance

The role of gene expression noise in the evolution of drug resistance in mammalian cells is unclear. Here, by uncoupling noise from mean expression of a drug resistance gene in CHO cells the authors show that noisy expression aids adaptation to high drug levels, but delays it at low drug levels.
