We examined several experimental parameters of the lambda cI/cII transgenic mutation assay.

Understanding chemically induced changes in mutational spectra can aid in deciphering mechanisms of mutagenesis. In this paper, we propose the use of statistical methods that are based upon the mutation frequency, rather than simple mutant counts which have no relationship to the mutation frequency.
