Estimation of spontaneous genome-wide mutation rate parameters: whither beneficial mutations?

Abstract excerpt

Empirical estimates of genome-wide mutation rates and of the distribution of mutational effects are needed to illuminate various topics ranging from evolutionary biology to conservation. Methods for inferring genome-wide mutation parameters are presented, and results stemming from these studies are reviewed. It is argued that, although most if not all mutations detected in mutation accumulation experiments are...
