    Genomically minimal cells, such as JCVI-syn3.0 and JCVI-syn3A, offer an empowering framework to study relationships between genotype and phenotype. With a polygenic basis, the fundamental physiological process of cell division depends on multiple genes of known and unknown function in JCVI-syn3A. A physical description of cellular mechanics can further understanding of the contributions of genes to cell division in this genomically minimal context. We review current knowledge on genes in JCVI-syn3A contributing to two physical parameters relevant to cell division, namely, the surface-area-to-volume ratio and membrane curvature. This physical view of JCVI-syn3A may inform the attribution of gene functions and conserved processes in bacterial physiology, as well as whole-cell models and the engineering of synthetic cells.

    A single homogeneous resource needs to be fairly shared between users that dynamically arrive and depart over time. Although good allocations exist for any fixed number of users, implementing these allocations dynamically is impractical: it typically entails adjustments in the allocation of every user in the system whenever a new user arrives. We introduce a dynamic fair resource division problem in which there is a limit on the number of users that can be disrupted when a new user arrives and study the trade-off between fairness and the number of allowed disruptions, using a fairness metric: the fairness ratio. We almost completely characterize this trade-off and give an algorithm for obtaining the optimal fairness for any number of allowed disruptions.
