The fundamental theorem of neutral evolution: rates of substitution and mutation should factor in premeiotic clusters.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations do not always arise as single events. Many new mutations actually occur in the cell lineage before germ cell formation or meiosis and are therefore replicated pre-meiotically. The increased likelihood of substitutions caused by these clusters of new mutant alleles can change the fundamental theorem of neutral evolution.
