## Recent advances in reporter gene technologies are now allowing us to image gene transcription at the single cell level, using either fluorescence or luminescence microscopy. Here, the basis of these techniques is outlined and their advantages and disadvantages in various biological systems are
Living cells often generate signals spontaneously in the absence of external stimuli. Those signals play an important role in their tactic behaviors. This paper presents a theoretical treatment on the mechanism of spontaneous signal generation. The mechanism consists of two steps: (1) production of
