We all see ourselves as a consequence of what we have inherited and absorbed from our ancestors.
In a population of dividing cells in which each daughter cell inherits a similar genetic content and experiences
similar environment, this principle should be even more pronounced, such that along a lineage of cells,
we expect to find a boring uniformity in most traits.
Typical cultures of MG1655 contain about 50-50% variation in phage e14. See Goldberg et al., 2014
