title: A confidence interval for mutant frequency in assays using microtiter wells.
abstract: Previous attempts to derive a confidence interval for the estimated mutant fraction in assays using microtiter wells have not considered the variance introduced by the early growth and dilution steps. We derive a confidence interval that includes these sources of variability.
