  "summary": "The timing of many cellular events is controlled by the accumulation of a regulatory molecule to a threshold level. This timing can be characterized by the first-passage time (FPT), defined as the random time required to reach the threshold for the first time. In stochastic gene expression, fluctuations in molecular production and degradation lead to variability in event timing. Feedback…",
