Life history effects on the molecular clock of autosomes and sex chromosomes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 9 Feb 2016

Amster Guy, Sella Guy

Abstract excerpt

One of the foundational results in molecular evolution is that the rate at which neutral substitutions accumulate on a lineage equals the rate at which mutations arise. Traits that affect rates of mutation therefore also affect the phylogenetic "molecular clock." We consider the effects of sex-specific generation times and mutation rates in species with two sexes. In particular, we focus on the effects that the...
