Proliferation model dependence in fluctuation analysis: the neutral case.

Abstract excerpt

We discuss the evaluation of Luria-Delbrück fluctuation experiments under Bellman-Harris models of cell proliferation. It is shown that under certain very natural assumptions concerning the life-time distributions and the offspring distributions of mutant and non-mutant cells, the suitably normed and centered number of mutants contained in a large culture of bacteria (or the like) converges to a certain stable...
