  1. The error rate was calculated using the equation ER = mf/(bp×d), where mf is the mutation frequency that was calculated using the equation mf = white colonies/total colonies, and bp is the number of detectable sites (324) in the lacZ gene of plasmid pUC19, and d is the number of template doublings that were calculated using the equation d = (ng product)/(ng input)
