Cell Proliferation Phenotypes – precision of different growth models. This file contains the data used to calculate median values and percent standard deviation for Cell Proliferation Phenotypes calculated by different growth models using raw and normalized spot intensity values (See Tables 1 and 2).

Additional file 5:

Robustness of growth models against data removal. Beginning with data in 4, time points were randomly removed, and MSR was recalculated using each growth model (Fig. 8). This file contains the actual time points and average and standard deviation of MSR of all 96 spots.
