Estimating mutation rate: how to count mutations?

Genetics - 1 Jun 2003

Fu Yun-Xin, Huai Haying

Abstract excerpt

Mutation rate is an essential parameter in genetic research. Counting the number of mutant individuals provides information for a direct estimate of mutation rate. However, mutant individuals in the same family can share the same mutations due to premeiotic mutation events, so that the number of mutant individuals can be significantly larger than the number of mutation events observed. Since mutation rate is more...
