    Snippet: In the estimation of SARS-CoV daily mutation rate, we employed the conservative constant mutation rate model [9] , where the number of mutations d found in an isolate from its ancestor is proportional to the mutation rate k and the temporal difference t between the isolate and its ancestor, so that d = k × t. Based on the Singapore patients contact tracing information (see Figure 4 ), we obtained 6 pairs of isolates with known definite ancestor-.....
    Document: In the estimation of SARS-CoV daily mutation rate, we employed the conservative constant mutation rate model [9] , where the number of mutations d found in an isolate from its ancestor is proportional to the mutation rate k and the temporal difference t between the isolate and its ancestor, so that d = k × t. Based on the Singapore patients contact tracing information (see Figure 4 ), we obtained 6 pairs of isolates with known definite ancestor-descendant relationship, calculated the number of mutations (d) and the time difference (t) for each pair, and estimate the mutation rate k for the model using least square fitting. The goodness-of-fit were measured using the adjusted Rsquare statistics.
