Noise-induced bistability in the fate of cancer phenotypic quasispecies: a bit-strings approach

Abstract Tumor cell populations are highly heterogeneous. Such heterogeneity, both at genotypic and phenotypic levels, is a key feature during tumorigenesis. How to investigate the impact of this heterogeneity in the dynamics of tumors cells becomes an important issue. Here we explore a stochastic m...
