Rickard Sandberg and colleagues use allele-sensitive single-cell RNA–seq on primary mouse fibroblasts and human T cells to study clonal and dynamic monoallelic expression patterns. They find that the majority of random monoallelic expression of autosomal genes occurs transiently within individual cells rather than being stably inherited within clonally related cells.
