Oscillatory dynamics of proteins and mRNAs in the Cln3-Bck2 module. The temporal dynamics of specific proteins (top panel) and mRNAs (bottom panel) generated by an independent run of the hybrid stochastic model is demonstrated base on numbers of molecules per cell. The volume of cell (solid blue line) grows exponentially and divides asymmetrically (the division is indicated by arrows) between daughter and mother cells. This asymmetric division follows the experimental observations by Di Talia et al. [23, 28]. Except for Cln3 that divides with a ratio of 25:75 between daughter and mother, the rest of proteins along with the volume are partitioned with a ratio of 40:60. In simulation this is implemented by setting the initial values of the progenies for the next simulation run according to the aforementioned ratios
