Interpreting Cell-Cycle Experiments: Data and Worked Examples
A cell-cycle experiment may give you a table of phase counts, a DNA-content histogram, or a record of protein abundance over time. These measurements answer different questions. Use phase counts to estimate how cells are distributed, DNA content to identify replication status, and additional observa
Mitosis and Cell-Cycle Data: Chromosome Counts and Examples
A cell about to divide has a distribution problem that is easy to underestimate. A typical diploid human cell begins with 46 chromosomes and roughly two meters of nuclear DNA. After S phase, it has twice that DNA length, organized into 46 replicated chromosomes. Two identical sets have to end up in
