Mutation rates in retroelements
| Range | Table - link |
|---|---|
| Organism | Various |
| Reference | Drake JW. The distribution of rates of spontaneous mutation over viruses, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 1999 May 18 870:100-7PubMed ID10415476 |
| Method | The rates are based on targets large enough (300-9000 bp) to sample the genome fairly |
| Comments | The retroviruses and one retrotransposon have mutation rates about one order of magnitude less than Lytic RNA viruses (BNID 104749) |
