Quantifying E. coli Proteome and Transcriptome with Single-Molecule Sensitivity in Single Cells
Open accessAbstract
Devil in the Detail: Genetically identical cells in the same environment can show variation in gene expression that may cause phenotypic variation at the single-cell level. But how noisy are most genes? Taniguchi et al. (p. 533 ; see the Perspective by Tyagi ) now report single-cell global profiling of both messenger RNA (mRNA) and proteins in Escherichia coli using a yellow fluorescent protein fusion library. As well as a common extrinsic noise in high-abundance proteins, large fluctuations were observed in low-abundance proteins. Remarkably, in single-cell experiments, mRNA and protein levels for the same gene were uncorrelated.

“Such stochasticity is manifested in fluctuations of mRNA and protein copy numbers within a cell lineage over time, and in variations of mRNA and protein copy numbers among a population of genetically identical cells at a particular time (1, 2, 3, 4).”

The Abstract says stochastic gene expression can produce variation among identical cells, and its model predicts cell-to-cell variability in mRNA levels for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic promoters. However, the paper's single-cell protein-reporter measurements were made in yeast, not bacteria; it does not establish that both protein and mRNA copy numbers differ among individual bacterial cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
