Why are there so many fitness metrics in microbial ecology? I was confused as I started the PhD - and with
@michaelmanhart.bsky.social
, I developed a framework that unifies existing statistics of relative fitness and shows how they all derive from a few basic principles. Preprint is up! 1/n
Quantifying microbial fitness in high-throughput experiments
Few concepts are as central to evolution as is fitness, and yet the quantification of fitness is often ambiguous. In particular, high-throughput experiments to measure mutant fitness in microbes are i...
