High-throughput measurement techniques have propelled efforts to build modeling tools that help to shed light on the relationships between cell size, growth and cycle progression. Most proposed models describe cell division as a discrete map between size at birth and size at division with stochastic fluctuations assumed. However, such models underestimate the role of cell size transient dynamics by excluding them.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We propose an efficient approach for estimation of cell size transient dynamics.

Our approach is able to compute statistical moments like mean size and its variance from such distributions efficiently, showing close match with numerical simulations. Additionally, we observed that these distributions have periodic properties. Our approach further might shed light on the mechanisms behind gene product homeostasis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-019-3213-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,27]],"date-time":"2019-12-27T08:02:42Z","timestamp":1577433762000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Efficient computation of stochastic cell-size transient dynamics"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Cesar Augusto","family":"Nieto-Acuna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4286-8882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cesar Augusto","family":"Vargas-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abhyudai","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan Manuel","family":"Pedraza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,27]]},"reference":[{"issue":"20","key":"3213_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"208102","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.112.208102","volume":"112","author":"A Amir","year":"2014","unstructured":"Amir A.
