Statistical Package for Growth Rates Made Easy
Open accessAbstract
Growth rates are an important tool in microbiology because they provide high throughput fitness measurements. The release of GrowthRates, a program that uses the output of plate reader files to automatically calculate growth rates, has facilitated experimental procedures in many areas. However, many sources of variation within replicate growth rate data exist and can decrease data reliability. We have developed a new statistical package, CompareGrowthRates (CGR), to enhance the program GrowthRates and accurately measure variation in growth rate data sets. We define a metric, Variability-score (V-score), that can help determine if variation within a data set might result in false interpretations. CGR also uses the bootstrap method to determine the fraction of bootstrap replicates in which a strain will grow the fastest. We illustrate the usage of CGR with growth rate data sets similar to those in Mira, Meza, et al. (Adaptive landscapes of resistance genes change as antibiotic concentrations change. Mol Biol Evol. 32(10): 2707-2715). These statistical methods are compatible with the analytic methods described in Growth Rates Made Easy and can be used with any set of growth rate output from GrowthRates.

“This difference is important to consider when performing experiments that depend on the number of cellular divisions or cells present, such as cellular communication [12, 13] and antibiotic susceptibility [14–17] and biofilms [18].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
