On the Bacterial Life Sequence
Abstract
The life of the cell is usually described as a recurrent sequence of biochemical events, e.g., the life cycle, the cell cycle, or the division cycle. Since cell division is the end of one life sequence, it would also be the beginning of the next one if the sequences recur consecutively. In this report, we suggest that the life sequence is a linear progression of events which is not necessarily inaugurated at division nor necessarily recurrent. It consists of three steps:

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
