Mutations in coral soma and sperm imply lifelong stem cell renewal and cell lineage selection

2021-07-21

Abstract excerpt

In many animals, the germline differentiates early in embryogenesis, so only mutations that accumulate in germ cells are inherited by offspring 1 . Exceptions to this developmental process may indicate that other mechanisms have evolved to limit the effects of deleterious mutation accumulation 2 . Stony corals are animals that can live for hundreds of years 3 and have long been thought to produce gametes from s...
