Mutation rate
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In genetics, mutation rates are the speed at which mutations in an organism or a species take place. This is important in fields such as evolutionary biology and oncology.
The rate of mutation can be used to calculate how many years ago two species diverged.
