Abstract excerpt
Mutations contribute to genetic variation in all living systems. Thus, precise estimates of mutation rates and spectra across a diversity of organisms are required for a full comprehension of evolution. Here, a mutation-accumulation (MA) assay was carried out on the endosymbiotic bacterium Teredinibacter turnerae. After ∼3,025 generations, base-pair substitutions (BPSs) and insertion-deletion (indel) events were...
