Transgenic mutation assays generally use mutant frequencies to estimate mutation frequencies but the degree to which clonal expansion inflates mutant frequencies i s largely unknown. Mutant frequency is defined as the fraction of cells carrying mutations in the gene of interest and, according to the
## Abstract Transgenic mouse mutation detection systems permit rapid determination of the frequency and type of mutations allowing direct examination of mutational markers for aging, neurodegeneration, and cancer. The Big Blueยฎ transgenic mouse mutation detection system was used to determine the fr
