Excited to share our latest paper, where we show the development of gene expression asymmetry in aging E. coli!
Work done in the Evolutionary Demography Group at FU Berlin with @mtugrul.bsky.social, @arpitanath.bsky.social and Ulrich Steiner.

Progressive decline in old pole gene expression signal enhances phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria
Bacterial aging increases variance in gene expression and protein inheritance through a gradual decline in old pole activity.
