Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic heterogeneity is prevalent during aging, yet its underlying molecular drivers remain poorly understood. In budding yeast, two distinct aging trajectories, characterized by either ribosomal DNA (rDNA) instability or mitochondrial decline, have been proposed to be mutually exclusive. Here, we systematically dissect the heterogeneity among aging yeast cells by combining single-cell transcriptomics with...
