2. Mutation rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_rate

   The human germline mutation rate is approximately 0.5×10 −9 per basepair per year. [1] In genetics, the mutation rate is the frequency of new mutations in a single gene, nucleotide sequence, or organism over time. [2] Mutation rates are not constant and are not limited to a single type of mutation; there are many different types of mutations.

3. Mutation–selection balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation–selection_balance

   The frequency = + of normal alleles A increases at rate / due to the selective elimination of recessive homozygotes, while mutation causes to decrease at rate (ignoring back mutations). Mutation–selection balance then gives p B B = μ / s {\displaystyle p_{BB}=\mu /s} , and so the frequency of deleterious alleles is q = μ / s {\displaystyle ...

4. Mutation frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_frequency

   Mutation frequencies test are cost effective in laboratories [1] however; these two concepts provide vital information in reference to accounting for the emergence of mutations on any given germ line. [2] [3] There are several test utilized in measuring the chances of mutation frequency and rates occurring in a particular gene pool.

5. Fixation (population genetics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_(population_genetics)

   For a diploid population of size N and neutral mutation rate, the initial frequency of a novel mutation is simply 1/(2N), and the number of new mutations per generation is . Since the fixation rate is the rate of novel neutral mutation multiplied by their probability of fixation, the overall fixation rate is 2 N μ × 1 2 N = μ {\displaystyle ...

6. Somatic mutation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_mutation

   The disparity in mutation rate between the germline and somatic tissues likely reflects the greater importance of genetic integrity in the germline than in the soma. [12] Variation in mutation frequency may be due to differences in rates of DNA damage or to differences in the DNA repair process as a result of elevated levels of DNA repair enzymes.

7. Luria–Delbrück experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luria–Delbrück_experiment

   These factors cause the frequency (r/N t) to vary greatly, even if the number of mutational events (m) is the same. Frequency is not a sufficiently accurate measure of mutation and the mutation rate (m/N t) should always be calculated. The estimation of the mutation rate (μ) is complex.

8. Hardy–Weinberg principle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy–Weinberg_principle

   Mutation will have a very subtle effect on allele frequencies through the introduction of new allele into a population. Mutation rates are of the order 10 −4 to 10 −8, and the change in allele frequency will be, at most, the same order. Recurrent mutation will maintain alleles in the population, even if there is strong selection against them.

9. Watterson estimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watterson_estimator

   It is a measure of the "population mutation rate" (the product of the effective population size and the neutral mutation rate) from the observed nucleotide diversity of a population. θ = 4 N e μ {\displaystyle \theta =4N_{e}\mu } , [ 3 ] where N e {\displaystyle N_{e}} is the effective population size and μ {\displaystyle \mu } is the per ...
