Mosaic of somatic mutations in one of Earth’s largest organisms, Pando

2024-10-22

Abstract excerpt

While evolutionary biology traditionally focuses on the spread of mutations within populations, the dynamics of mutational spread within individuals, particularly in long-lived clonally-spreading organisms, remain poorly understood. Here we examine the genetic structure of ‘Pando’, Earth’s largest known quaking aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) clone. We sequenced over 500 samples across Pando and neighboring clones,...
