Hypermutability of integrated sequences of viral origin in a Chlorarachniophyte

2026-01-14

Abstract excerpt

Mutations provide the raw material for evolution, but mutation rates are not uniform across genomes. Using a mutation accumulation experiment in the marine phytoplankton Bigelowiella natans , we discovered extreme local variation in mutation rate: over 1000-fold differences across its nuclear genome. While the baseline single-nucleotide mutation rate is approximately 3.5×10 −10 per site per generation, a common...
