Advancing radiation-induced mutant screening through high-throughput technology: a preliminary evaluation of mutant screening in Arabidopsis thaliana by Zhe Li, Jinhu Mu, Yan Du, Xiao Liu, Lixia Yu, Jianing Ding, Jing Long, Jingmin Chen, Libin Zhou

“…Our findings demonstrate that as the confidence interval level increases from 75 to 99.9%, the accuracy of machine-based mutant identification decreases from 1 to 0.446, while the false positive rate decreases from 0.817 to 0.118, and the false negative rate increases from 0 to 0.554. Nevertheless, machine-based screening remains more accurate and efficient than human assessment. …”
