Discovery and Evaluation of Cadmium-Adapted Daphnia pulex Genotypes in a Region of Historical Mining Reveals Adaptation Protects the Germline From Cadmium-Induced Mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Exposure to chemical pollutants can alter the rate and genome-wide distribution of germline mutations. However, studies measuring the effects of chemical exposure on mutation rates and spectra have not considered the ecological and evolutionary backgrounds of the studied genotypes, which could influence the rates and patterns of germline mutations in altered environments, for example, chemical pollution....
