SuperPlots: Communicating reproducibility and variability in cell biology
Samuel J. Lord, Katrina Velle, R. Dyche Mullins, Lillian K. Fritz‐Laylin
Abstract
P values and error bars help readers infer whether a reported difference would likely recur, with the sample size n used for statistical tests representing biological replicates, independent measurements of the population from separate experiments. We provide examples and practical tutorials for creating figures that communicate both the cell-level variability and the experimental reproducibility.
