Cells have to coordinate various ongoing processes: growth, division, DNA replication, protein production, etc. The tightly coupled coordination between these processes – the cell cycle – is essential for viability, yet the mechanisms and principles through which cells achieve this are not well understood. In particular, the coordination of the cell cycle has to be robust to the inevitable stochasticity present in biological environments, via internal feedback mechanisms. By measuring fluctuations and correlations, we may gain a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms.
