Virulence protein expression patterns in two different cell lineages of the synthetic single-cell movie (cell 3 and cell 7). Cell instances are colored according to a virulence protein’s expression (InvF). Notice the inter- and intra-cell lineage stochasticity in InvF’s expression. a In this cell lineage, InvF is highly expressed in some branches but not in others. b In this cell lineage, InvF is expressed stochastically, but the variance across the different cell lineages is lower. In both cases, the InvF expression increases with time (more cells switch to a virulent phenotype as time progresses)
