Details Matter: Noise and Model Structure Set the Relationship between Cell Size and Cell Cycle Timing

Organisms across all domains of life regulate the size of their cells. However, the means by which this is done is poorly understood. We study two abstracted “molecular” models for size regulation: inhibitor dilution and initiator accumulation. We apply the models to two settings: bacteria like Esch...
