Developmental Selection and the Perception of Mutation Bias.

Molecular biology and evolution - 3 Aug 2023

Majic Paco, Payne Joshua L

Abstract excerpt

The notion that mutations are random relative to their fitness effects is central to the Neo-Darwinian view of evolution. However, a recent interpretation of the patterns of mutation accumulation in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana has challenged this notion, arguing for the presence of a targeted DNA repair mechanism that causes a nonrandom association of mutation rates and fitness effects. Specifically, this...
