Comments The genomic mutation rate for fitness, U (see BOX 2 for estimation methods box link-http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/files/Methods%20for%20estimating%20the%20deleterious%20mutation%20rate%20U.pdf ), has received special attention in recent years owing to its importance in a range of evolutionary contexts, particularly in the evolution of sex and recombination
