Somatic Mutations and Genome Stability Maintenance in Clonal Coral Colonies.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2020

López Elora H, Palumbi Stephen R

Abstract excerpt

One challenge for multicellular organisms is maintaining genome stability in the face of mutagens across long life spans. Imperfect genome maintenance leads to mutation accumulation in somatic cells, which is associated with tumors and senescence in vertebrates. Colonial reef-building corals are often large, can live for hundreds of years, rarely develop recognizable tumors, and are thought to convert somatic...
