Methods for comparing mutation rates using fluctuation assay data.

Abstract excerpt

Comparing microbial mutation rates via the fluctuation assay protocol is an important routine task in the laboratory. However, methods for the comparison of mutation rates are still scarce and not well understood. This paper proposes new methods to address this situation. First, it provides a likelihood ratio test. Second, it explores the use of confidence intervals that can be readily computed. Third, it uses...
