This constant rate is the mutation rate for neutral alleles.
They estimate a similar mutation rate for these disease states in vivo, as well as for the bacterium in vitro.
Though the "true" new mutation rate for HD is still unclear, current estimates range anywhere from 1% to 14%.
While G-PhoCS does account for difference in population sizes across lineages, we assume this constant mutation rate for all Cicer species.
The mutation rate for the changes of the plant height and of the rice color (purple) varied from 0.05% to 0.52% among ten varieties except Xixuan-1.
The mutation rate for many human recessive diseases is about 1 in 100,000 (u = 10−5).
For protein-coding genes the mutation rate for guanine has been estimated to be very high compared to other parts of the mitochondrial genome49 resulting in higher transitional rate between purines.
The paucity of examples may indicate that the recombinant and mutation rate for blood group genes is lower than that estimated for other human genes.

Because the virus was part of the finch genome, they used the standard mutation rate for birds.
