Mutation Balance

Mutation Balance is a theoretical construct in population genetics that specifies the equilibrium state in which the rate of introduction of new mutations in a microbial population is counterbalanced by purifying selection and genetic drift, thereby maintaining a stable frequency of mutant alleles within the context of population systems biology.
