Reply to comment by Nemisis_the_2nd in When it's said 99.9% of human DNA is the same in all humans, is this referring to only coding DNA or both coding and non-coding DNA combined? by PeanutSalsa

The averages that I learned were that a mutation occurs in 1 in 10000 during replication but DNA repair corrects all but 1 in 10000 mutants. Is your number a little low for error rate?
