Resolving Deleterious and Near-Neutral Effects Requires Different Pooled Fitness Assay Designs.

Abstract excerpt

Pooled sequencing-based fitness assays are a powerful and widely used approach to quantifying fitness of thousands of genetic variants in parallel. Despite the throughput of such assays, they are prone to biases in fitness estimates, and errors in measurements are typically larger for deleterious fitness effects, relative to neutral effects. In practice, designing pooled fitness assays involves tradeoffs between...
