Diversity at the <i>HYP1</i> locus in potato cyst nematodes does not result from developmentally-programmed somatic mutations

2026-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Most genetic diversity stems from spontaneous mutations, that is, errors in DNA repair or replication. But for dozens of organisms across the tree of life, mutations at specific loci are not spontaneous but developmentally programmed: effectively, some organisms edit their own DNA sequences. This is perhaps most common among pathogens and parasites, many of which use editing to diversify genes that produce importa...
