  1. aThe number of mutations in a single residue per new cell where only one transversion can result in the specific amino-acid change. Mutations that result from transitions or more than one possible SNV have higher mutation rates, see Additional file 1: Section 5 and Table S1
  2. bCorresponds to approximately 0.3 – 0.4 divisions per day
