- Observed E. coli daughter-cell doubling-time asymmetries are usually small, around 1-5%. — Aging a little: The optimality of limited senescence in Escherichia coli
- Under a zero-sum tradeoff, asymmetry keeps the average daughter doubling time equal to the symmetric-division doubling time. — Aging a little: The optimality of limited senescence in Escherichia coli
- Near zero asymmetry, growth advantage increases quadratically. — Aging a little: The optimality of limited senescence in Escherichia coli
- Small asymmetry can yield a compounding population-level advantage over long timescales. — Aging a little: The optimality of limited senescence in Escherichia coli
- The benefit of small asymmetry is limited over a few generations but can matter across hundreds or thousands of generations. — Aging a little: The optimality of limited senescence in Escherichia coli
