Evolution via somatic genetic variation in modular species.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Dec 2021

Reusch Thorsten B H, Baums Iliana B, Werner Benjamin

Abstract excerpt

Somatic genetic variation (SoGV) may play a consequential yet underappreciated role in long-lived, modular species among plants, animals, and fungi. Recent genomic data identified two levels of genetic heterogeneity, between cell lines and between modules, that are subject to multilevel selection. Because SoGV can transfer into gametes when germlines are sequestered late in ontogeny (plants, algae, and fungi and...
