Spontaneous Mutations Occur More in Highly Transcribed Regions in Daphnia.

Abstract excerpt

Many molecular processes (eg replication, recombination, and transcription) use DNA as a template molecule, which may lead to an increase or decrease in the likelihood of spontaneous mutation and/or repair of mutations to this key information storage molecule. In the case of transcription, both positive and negative correlations with the likelihood of mutation have been observed across species, which have formed...
