The point mutation rate of phage PhiX174 was determined using the fluctuation test. After identifying the genetic changes associated with the selected phenotype, we obtained an estimate of 1.0x10(-6) substitutions per base per round of copying, which is consistent with Drake's rule (0.003 mutations per genome per round of copying in DNA-based microorganisms).
噬菌体 PhiX174 的点突变率是通过波动试验确定的。在确定与所选表型相关的遗传变化后,我们估计每个复制循环每个碱基的替换率为 1.0x10(-6),这与德雷克规则(基于 DNA 的微生物中每个复制循环每个基因组 0.003 个突变)一致。
