Confounders of mutation-rate estimators: selection and phenotypic lag in Thermus thermophilus.

Abstract excerpt

In a recent description of the rate and character of spontaneous mutation in the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus, the mutation rate was observed to be substantially lower than seen in several mesophiles. Subsequently, a report appeared indicating that this bacterium maintains an...
