The adaptive potential of non-heritable somatic mutations
2021-04-30
Abstract excerpt
Non-heritable somatic mutations are typically associated with deleterious effects such as in cancer and senescence, so their role in adaptive evolution has received little attention. However, most somatic mutations are harmless and some even confer a fitness advantage to the organism carrying them. We hypothesized that heritable, germline genotypes that are likely to express an advantageous phenotype via non-herit...
