Lysogen stability is determined by the frequency of activity bursts from the fate‐determining gene

Abstract The ability of living cells to maintain an inheritable memory of their gene‐expression state is key to cellular differentiation. Bacterial lysogeny serves as a simple paradigm for long‐term cellular memory. In this study, we address the following question: in the absence of external perturb...
