A method for estimating the mutation rate for protein loci from the number of rare alleles in the population is presented. It seems to have a number of advantages compared with Kimura and Ohta's method. Applying this method to Neel's data from American Indians in South America and to Nozawa's data from Japanese macaques, the mutation rate for electrophoretically detectable alleles is estimated to be (2 approximately 3) x 10(-6) per locus per generation. This estimate may not include many severely or substantially deleterious mutations.
本文提出了一种根据群体中稀有等位基因数量来估计蛋白质基因座突变率的方法。与木村和太田的方法相比,该方法似乎具有许多优点。将此方法应用于南美洲美洲印第安人尼尔的数据以及日本猕猴野泽的数据,电泳可检测等位基因的突变率估计为每基因座每代(2至3)×10⁻⁶。这个估计可能不包括许多严重或实质性有害的突变。
