The passage around this formula

A useful way to see the tradeoff quantitatively is coverage. If a screen library contains g guides and the experimenter wants, on average, c cells carrying each guide to survive Poisson dropout during selection, the number of cells that must be carried through the pipeline scales roughly as N≳g⋅c⋅eμN \gtrsim g \cdot c \cdot e^{\mu}. where μ\mu is the expected number of guide integrations per cell under the multiplicity of infection chosen for the…
