The mutation rate.
The type of mutation model:
‘random’ – This is the kthallele mutation model.
‘forward’ – This is a step-wise
mutation in which an allele can
mutate forwards only (i.e., to
the right).
‘backward’ – This is a stepwise mutation in which an
allele can mutate backwards
only (i.e., to the left).
‘forwardbackward’ – This is a
step-wise mutation in which an
allele can mutate forward or
backwards only (i.e., to the
left or right with equal
probability).

This is a special case for the
2-loci selection model. The
first locus under selection can
only go forward (A -> a) and
the second locus under
selection can only go backward
(b -> B). The rest of the
neutral loci are random
mutations.
