Figure 5

Probabilities of observing a new mutation. The cumulative probabilities of observing a new mutation in the absence (Equilibrium) and presence (Transient) of drug pressure. Model choices which produce a transient of a magnitude and duration shown in figure 4 lead to significant acceleration of viral evolution. In the absence of selective pressure chances of observing a new mutant are negligible.
