"Mutation rates in DNA-based microbes: Rates of spontaneous mutation in this class of organisms were last surveyed in Drake (1991) and are summarized in Table 4 using a few updated values for genome sizes. Unlike the experimental and theoretical limits to the accuracy of the RNA-virus values, the DNA-microbe values were determined in well-studied systems using robust calculations, and the individual values are likely to be accurate to within two-fold. Table 4 shows that µb and G vary inversely and smoothly over nearly four orders of magnitude while µg remains constant. Given the paucity of general, constant values in evolutionary processes, this particular constant is strikingly robust."
