Mutational Landscape of Spontaneous Base Substitutions and Small Indels in Experimental <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> Populations of Differing Size

2019-01-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Experimental investigations into the rates and fitness effects of spontaneous mutations are fundamental for our understanding of the evolutionary process. To gain insights into the molecular and fitness consequences of spontaneous mutations, we conducted a mutation accumulation (MA) experiment at varying population sizes in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans , evolving 35 lines in parallel for...
