Does Mutational Robustness Inhibit Extinction by Lethal Mutagenesis in Viral Populations?
Figure 3
Critical mutation rates in the neutral-staircase fitness landscape.
Critical mutations rates derived from Equation (5) are plotted as a function of the total number of blocks 
for varying numbers of active blocks 
. The critical mutation rates increase slowly as the number of active blocks increases. Parameters: number of bitpairs per block 
, reproductive capacity 
, between-block bitstring length 
.
