Direct measurement of the mutation rate and its evolutionary consequences in a critically endangered mollusk

2024-09-20

Abstract excerpt

The rate at which mutations arise is a fundamental parameter of biology. Despite recent progress in measuring germline mutation rates across diverse taxa, such estimates are missing for much of Earth's biodiversity. We present the first estimate of a germline mutation rate from the phylum Mollusca, which is diverged by more than 1200 Ma years from the closest relative for which a mutation rate estimate exists. We...
