The mean values and coefficients of variation for four cell-cycle properties in populations of mother cells (A) and daughter cells (B). To transform dimensionless cell size into volume in fL, we used a conversion factor of 75 fL, which was derived by equating the mean size of mother cells to the experimental mean volume of ~40 fL. To visualize the joint distributions of size at birth and G1 duration (TG1) in mother cells (C) and daughter cells (D), we plot (grey dots) 200 simulated cells sampled from the whole population. To estimate the trends in the data, we plot (red dots) the average value of the grey dots in bins of size 2 fL, exactly as implemented by the authors of the experimental data24.
