Estimating intrinsic and extrinsic noise from single-cell gene expression measurements
Gene expression is stochastic and displays variation ("noise") both within and between cells. Intracellular (intrinsic) variance can be distinguished from extracellular (extrinsic) variance by applying the law of total variance to data from two-reporter assays that probe expression of identical gene pairs in single-cells. We examine established formulas for the estimation of intrinsic and extrinsic noise and provide interpretations of them in terms of a hierarchical model. This allows us to derive corrections that minimize the mean squared error, an objective that may be important when sample sizes are small. The statistical framework also highlights the need for quantile normalization, and provides justification for the use of the sample correlation between the two reporter expression levels to estimate the percent contribution of extrinsic noise to the total noise. Finally, we provide a geometric interpretation of these results that clarifies the current interpretation.
