Abstract excerpt
The rates of mutation, recombination, and transposition are core parameters in models of evolution. They impact genetic diversity, responses to ongoing selection, and levels of genetic load. However, even for key evolutionary model species such as Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans, few estimates of these parameters are available, and we have little idea of how rates vary between individuals, sexes,...
