Enlarging viral mutation estimation: a view from the distribution of mutation rates.

Abstract excerpt

The problem of empirical estimation of mutation rates is fundamental to the understanding of viral evolution. The estimation of viral mutation rates is based on varied and often complex methods carried out through experiments essentially designed to count mutation frequencies. Mutation rates are defined as the probabilities of nucleotide substitutions, typically reported as a single number in units of mutation...
