Abstract: Cell cycle position and age are often dispersed in a culture of budding yeast and can confound measured population averages. We have been exploring methods to describe and to manipulate the population structure of different yeast strains with modeling and data. Our work has resulted in a filtration protocol to extend the maintenance of cell cycle synchrony, and a model of the population structure that develops under autonomous oscillations. We will describe the development and application of these ideas and their relation to quorum sensing.
Joint seminar with the Quantitative Biology Institute.
