Direct estimation of genome mutation rates from pedigrees in free-ranging baleen whales

2022-10-07

Abstract excerpt

Current low germline mutation rate ( μ ) estimates in baleen whales have greatly influenced research ranging from assessments of whaling impacts to evolutionary cancer biology. However, the reported rates were subject to methodological errors and uncertainty. We estimated μ directly from pedigrees in natural populations of four baleen whale species and the results were similar to primates. The implications of re...
