Fig. 5. Difference between mutation and substitution rates among primates.

Error bars around substitution rates are 95% highest posterior density intervals from a Bayesian relaxed-clock analysis. Credible intervals are given for mutation rates where available from published data. Substitution rates are scaled from per-year to per-generation based on the average parent (parental) age at the time of conception, except for C. sabaeus where data were not available and the generation time assumed from external information. Where age information on parents was available, substitution rates were also scaled by the average father (paternal) age. Data are given in Table S3.
