Fluctuation analysis: the effect of plating efficiency.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1991

Stewart F M

Abstract excerpt

This paper supplements an earlier paper which explained how to calculate the probability distribution of the number of mutants that would be observed in a fluctuation test experiment. The formulas in that work give the distributions to be expected under a wide variety of experimental conditions,...
