Infographic graph depicting the link between lifespan and mutation rate. Mammals with short lifespans have higher rates of mutation than longer lived mammals. A mouse (top left) undergoes nearly 800 mutations each year (lifespan 4 years). Humans (average lifespan 84 years) have fewer than 50 mutations per year.
