Essential Role of Extrinsic Noise in Models of E. coli Division Control
Mattia Corigliano, Kuheli Biswas, Matteo Bocchiola +3
Our understanding of cell division control in bacteria still relies largely on interpreting correlations between phenomenological variables, with limited connection to the underlyi…
Extremal events dictate population growth rate inference
Trevor GrandPre, Ethan Levien, Ariel Amir
Recent methods have been developed to map single-cell lineage statistics to population growth. Because population growth selects for exponentially rare phenotypes, these methods in…
Criticality in the Luria-Delbrück model with an arbitrary mutation rate
Deng Pan, Jie Lin, Ariel Amir
The Luria-Delbrück model is a classic model of population dynamics with random mutations, that has been used historically to prove that random mutations drive evolution. In typical…
Mechanics and wrinkling patterns of pressurized bent tubes
Cesar L. Pastrana, Luyi Qiu, John W. Hutchinson +2
Take a drinking straw and bend it from its ends. After sufficient bending, the tube buckles forming a kink, where the curvature is localized in a very small area. This instability,…
