Are pedigree-based mutation rates the Rosetta Stone of molecular ecology? Promises and pitfalls of whole genome comparisons among closely related individuals.

2021-01-22

Abstract excerpt

Germline mutations are the raw material for natural selection, driving species evolution and the creation of earth’s biodiversity. Life on earth would stagnate without this driver of genetic diversity. Yet, it is a double-edged sword. An excess of mutations can have devastating effects on fitness and population viability. It is therefore one of the great challenges of molecular ecology to determine the rate and sp...
