The spatial distribution of cells in chimaeric tissues, composed of two genotypes, provides insights into the extent of cell mixing during development and growth. However, direct measurement of patch sizes is not usually meaningful because, when the proportion of one genotype is high, a single patch may encompass several adjacent coherent clones of like genotype (clone aggregation). Two previously used methods of comparing patch lengths were evaluated to overcome this problem. The corrected mean patch length (corrected for the predicted effects of random clone aggregation) is a more useful summary statistic than the median patch length of the minor genotype, because its use is not restricted to grossly unbalanced chimaeras, but its validity has been questioned. The two methods gave almost identical numerical summaries of patch sizes in the retinal pigment epithelium of fetal chimaeras, thereby validating the use of the corrected mean patch length for this tissue. The present study also showed that the corrected patch length was unaffected by the presence of cells hemizygous for the TgN(Hbb‐b1)83Clo transgene and that the proportion of pigmented cells in a single histological section was representative of the overall composition of the chimaeric fetus.
