Very Low Rates of Spontaneous Gene Deletions and Gene Duplications in Dictyostelium discoideum.

Abstract excerpt

The study of spontaneous mutation rates has revealed a wide range of heritable point mutation rates across species, but there are comparatively few estimates for large-scale deletion and duplication rates. The handful of studies that have directly calculated spontaneous rates of deletion and duplication using mutation accumulation lines have estimated that genes are duplicated and deleted at orders of magnitude...
