Deleterious mutations are characterized by higher genomic heterozygosity than other genic variants in plant genomes.

Abstract excerpt

Deleterious mutations can reduce the fitness of crop varieties, which limits the plant breeding efficacy. While crop deleterious mutations have been extensively examined, most studies focused on one specific crop with different analyzing methods, which hinders unveiling shared genomic characteristics of deleterious mutations across diverse crops. Here we used standardized approaches to characterize the...
