Variation in RNA virus mutation rates across host cells.
It is well established that RNA viruses exhibit higher rates of spontaneous mutation than DNA viruses and microorganisms. However, their mutation rates vary amply, from 10(-6) to 10(-4) substitutions per nucleotide per round of copying (s/n/r) and the causes of this variability remain poorly underst...
