Abstract excerpt
The variability of the products of polymerase chain reactions, due to mutations and to incomplete replications, can have important clinical consequences. Sun (1995) and Weiss and von Haeseler (1995) modeled these errors by a branching process and introduced estimators of the mutation rate and of the efficiency of the reaction based, for example, on the empirical distribution of the mutations of a random sequence....
