| Abstract |   Highly parallel experimental biology is offering opportunities
              to not just accomplish work more easily, but to explore for underlying
              governing principles.&&Recent analysis of the large-scale
              organization of gene expression has revealed its complex and dynamic
              nature.&&However, the underlying dynamics that generate complex
              gene expression and cellular organization are not yet understood.&&To
              comprehensively and quantitatively elucidate these underlying gene
              expression dynamics, we have analyzed genome-wide gene expression
              in many experimental conditions in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces
              cerevisiae, Arabidopsis thaliana, Drosophila melanogaster, Mus musculus
              and Homo sapiens.&&Here we demonstrate that the gene expression
              dynamics follows the same and surprisingly simple principle from
              Escherichia coli to man; where gene expression changes are proportional
              to their expression levels, and show that this 'proportional' dynamics
              or 'rich-travel-more' mechanism can regenerate the observed complex
              and dynamic organization of the transcriptome. These findings provide
              a universal principle in the regulation of gene expression, show
              how complex and dynamic organization can emerge from simple underlying
              dynamics, and demonstrate the flexibility of transcription across
              a< wide range of expression levels.&&We will also discuss
              about the "rich-travel-more" mechanism in the evolution
          of heterogeneous organization of metabolic networks. |
