Stochastic competition between mechanistically independent slippage and death pathways determines cell fate during mitotic arrest.

Variability in cell-to-cell behavior within clonal populations can be attributed to the inherent stochasticity of biochemical reactions. Most single-cell studies have examined variation in behavior due to randomness in gene transcription. Here we investigate the mechanism of cell fate choice and the...
