Mutation rate dynamics reflect ecological change in an emerging zoonotic pathogen

2021-04-12

Abstract excerpt

While mutation is often deleterious, it can also be adaptive. Mutation rates vary both within and between bacterial species, and understanding what drives this variation is essential for understanding the evolutionary dynamics of bacterial populations. In this study we investigate two factors that are predicted to influence the trade-off between the costs and benefits of mutation: ecology and genome size. To inves...
