Estimating Relative Fitness in Viral Competition Experiments
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
The relative fitness of viral variants has previously been defined as the slope of the logarithmic ratio of the genotype or phenotype frequencies in time plots of pairwise competition experiments. Developing mathematical models for such experiments by employing the conventional coefficient of selection s, we demonstrate that this logarithmic ratio gives the fitness difference, rather than the relative fitness....
