Estimating the mutation rate from a Luria-Delbrtick fluctuation experiment involves estimating the Poisson parameter in a compound Poisson distribution. The efficiency with which this can be estimated depends on how well the other random factors have been characterized. The assumption that cell grow
Cells growing in culture are subject to mutation, and as mutation is a random event, the number of mutants in a culture will be a random variable. The size of the clone of mutants arising from a single mutational event depends on the timing of the mutation; the earlier the mutation the larger the co
