Hi,

Imagine you got a mutant library of a plasmid DNA generated by random mutagenesis and affecting the whole plasmid sequence. This mutant library is going to be used to transform bacteria and check which mutations are selected.

Can you approximately estimate the probability of having deleterious mutations in known plasmid genes. For instance, what's the probability of obtaining a mutation that disable the antibiotic resistance gene? 

many thanks
