Update on estimation of mutation rates using data from fluctuation experiments.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2005

Zheng Qi

Abstract excerpt

This note discusses a minor mathematical error and a problematic mathematical assumption in Luria and Delbrück's (1943) classic article on fluctuation analysis. In addition to suggesting remedial measures, the note provides information on the latest development of techniques for estimating mutation rates using data from fluctuation experiments.
