| Apr 30, 2014 at 9:23 | comment | added | WYSIWYG | I missed this question somehow. Well, when comparing mutation rates many more hidden variables come into picture- general biochemistry, habitat etc. Also, eukaryotes should not be compared to prokaryotes. | |

| Feb 19, 2014 at 23:05 | comment | added | Chris♦ | Drake proposed an inverse correlation between genome size and mutation rate A constant rate of spontaneous mutation in DNA-based microbes.. His rule seems to be true for DNA viruses (this is probably also interesting for the other thread on this). The paper has some kind of a follow-up for higher organisms (I have so far only read the abstract):"The mutation rate and cancer." | |

| Nov 2, 2013 at 17:55 | comment | added | Remi.b | I read about this correlation in Nowak's book "evolutionary dynamics". I am sorry I don't have a better reference right now. Good point! Yes I meant mutation rate per base pair per generation. And generation time is correlated with genome size. Let me rephrase completely my question in order to not assume this correlation. | |
| Nov 2, 2013 at 17:48 | comment | added | Alan Boyd | Could you provide a reference for the first sentence of the question, or is it an opinion? And what are the units of mutation rate- is it mutations per bp per generation? Or are we talking somatic mutations? | |
