Hands-On Growth Laws Theory Cookbook
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
This tutorial covers the emerging field of coarse-grained cellular growth modeling, and aims to bridge the gap between theoretical foundations and practical application. By adopting an original “cookbook” approach, it is designed to offer a hands-on guide for constructing and analyzing different key aspects of cellular growth, focusing on available results for bacteria and beyond. The tutorial is structured as a series of step-by-step “recipes,” and covers essential concepts, recent literature, and key challenges. It aims to empower a broad audience, from students to seasoned researchers, to replicate, extend, and innovate in this scientific area. Specifically, each section provides detailed, bare-bones models to start working in each area, from basic steady-state growth to variable environments and focusing on different key layers relevant to biosynthesis, transcription, translation, nutrient sensing, and protein degradation, links between cell cycle and growth, ending with ecological insights.

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.
