Mutation accumulation in Tetrahymena.

BMC evolutionary biology - 15 Nov 2010

Brito Patrícia H, Guilherme Elsa, Soares Helena, Gordo Isabel

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The rate and fitness effects of mutations are key in understanding the evolution of every species. Traditionally, these parameters are estimated in mutation accumulation experiments where replicate lines are propagated in conditions that allow mutations to randomly accumulate without the purging effect of natural selection. These experiments have been performed with many model organisms but we still...
