def classify_mutation_rate_arbitrary( snp : float, levels : dict ) -> str:

    Classifies a gene based based on the provided snp count and the provided mutation rate levels

    Parameters
    ----------
    snp : float
        The gene's SNP count
    levels : dict
        A dictionary mapping the mutation rate levels to the classification,
        e.g. { 2 : 'highly conserved', 10 : 'conserved', 30 : 'variant' }

    -------
    str
        The classification of mutation rate
