Mosaic accumulation of somatic genetic variation and estimates of age in the long-lived reef-building coral Acropora palmata

2025-04-15

Abstract excerpt

Somatic genetic variation (SOGV), accumulating during an organism’s lifetime, was traditionally viewed as detrimental rather than adaptive due to links with cancer and senescence. However, in modular organisms like corals, deleterious mutations can be purged at the cellular or polyp level, while adaptive mutations may rise in frequency as polyps create genetically distinct modules. Quantifying the somatic genetic...
