Low base-substitution mutation rate in the germline genome of the ciliate <i>Tetrahymena thermophila</i>
2015-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Mutation is the ultimate source of all genetic variation and is, therefore, central to evolutionary change. Previous work on Paramecium tetraurelia found an unusually low germline base-substitution mutation rate in this ciliate. Here, we tested the generality of this result among ciliates using Tetrahymena thermophila. We sequenced the genomes of 10 lines of T. thermophila that had each undergone approximately 1,0...
