Salt stress alters the spectrum of de novo mutation available to selection during experimental adaptation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of adaptation is driven by both selection and the spectrum of available mutations. Given that the rate of mutation is not uniformly distributed across the genome and varies depending on the environment, understanding the signatures of selection across the genome is aided by first establishing what the expectations of genetic change are from mutation. To determine the interaction between salt...
