Code

  • batch_processing.py | Iterates through all preprocessed image data, parses clist.mat data, reconstructs linages from growth series, and computes the fold-change in gene expression. This script is designed to be run from the “processing” root folder directory.

  • analyze_dilution_data.py | Given compiled data mapping lineages and fold-change measurements, this script performs statistical inference on the fluctuations to infer the calibration, coupled with calculation of the repressor copy number.

  • empirical_F_inference.py | Given measurements of the fold-change in gene expression, this script infers the posterior distribution of the observed free energy.

  • entropic_parameter_inference.py | Infers the entropic parameters and from a collection of fold-change measurements at different temperatures. This can be run on all data simultaneously or on individual temperatures by toggling the “pooled” variable at the top of the script.

  • DNA_binding_energy_estimation.py | Infers an effective DNA binding energy from a collection of fold-change measurements.

  • systematic_error_binding_energy_inference.py | Infers an effective DNA binding energy under a variety of scenarios where cell size is considered.

  • calibration_factor.stan | Inferrential model for estimation of the calibration factor given sibling cell intensities

  • DNA_binding_energy.stan | Inferrential model for the estimation of the DNA binding energy given fold-change measurements

  • empirical_F_inference.stan | Inferrential model for the estimation of the free energy from fold-change measurements.

  • entropy_estimation.stan | Inferrenetial model for inferring the entropic parameters and for a single temperature.

  • pooled_entropy_estimation.stan | Inferrential model for the estimation of the entropic parameters and for multiple temperatures together.
