https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.M04075
The frequency (\(\text{h}^{-1}\)) with which a @M04074@ occurs within a organism or @G02604@. In general, rates of spontaneous @M04074@ vary between one in \(10^{4}\) and one in \(10^{8}\) per gene per generation, and can be considerably increased by mutagens.
