Genes shielded, repeats exposed: mutation bias in the midge Chironomus riparius.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation is the fundamental source of genetic variation, yet growing evidence shows that mutations are not uniformly distributed across genomes but are shaped by genomic architecture, DNA repair dynamics, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigate fine-scale determinants of mutation distribution in the nonbiting midge Chironomus riparius, an ecologically important freshwater insect widely used in...
