This paper improves gene regulatory network reconstruction by combining a new algorithm with a k-nearest neighbor mutual information estimator, achieving better precision-recall performance on synthetic datasets.

The paper develops a stochastic model of cone cell fate patterning in the mouse retina based on thyroid hormone signaling and single-cell opsin expression data.

The paper identifies a genetic variant that alters the stochastic expression of a transcription factor in Drosophila, affecting photoreceptor cell fate and color preference.
