Limited Mutation-Rate Variation Within the Paramecium aurelia Species Complex.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 2 Jul 2018

Long Hongan, Doak Thomas G, Lynch Michael

Abstract excerpt

Mutation is one of the most fundamental evolutionary forces. Studying variation in the mutation rate within and among closely-related species can help reveal mechanisms of genome divergence, but such variation is unstudied in the vast majority of organisms. Previous studies on ciliated protozoa have found extremely low mutation rates. In this study, using mutation-accumulation techniques combined with deep...
