Single-cell growth analytics. Visualization of raw single-cell length growth curves. Each jagged line represents the length time-series of a cell in the population (raw data). Time (x-axis) is the frame index in the movie. a Cells were randomly colored. b The small length red curve (upper left region) marks the only cell that failed to fit an exponential length growth model. Gray curves depict the rest of the cells. c Single-cell length exponential growth curves after model fitting. Each curve represents a cell of the population. Color denotes the RMSE of the exponential fit to the cell’s length. d Average and standard deviation of the population’s exponential length growth curve (see text for details)
