Forward genetic screening using the alkylating mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) is an effective method for identifying phenotypic mutants of interest, which can be further …
Existing mutagenicity tests for metazoans lack the direct observation of enhanced germline mutation rates after exposure to anthropogenic substances, therefore being inefficient …

Accurate estimates of mutation rates derived from genome‐wide mutation accumulation (MA) data are fundamental to understanding basic evolutionary processes. The rapidly …
Mutation rate variation has been under intense investigation for decades. Despite these efforts, little is known about the extent to which environmental stressors accelerate mutation …
Mutations are the ultimate source of heritable variation and therefore the fuel for evolution, but direct estimates of mutation rates exist only for few species. We estimated the …
Spontaneous mutations fuel evolutionary processes and differ in consequence, but the consequences depend on the environment. Biophysical considerations of protein …
Ribosomal (r) DNA is a highly dynamic, conserved, multigene family whose sequence homogeneity is thought to be maintained by intra-and interchromosomal recombination …
Mutations are the ultimate source of heritable variation and therefore the fuel for evolution, but direct estimates exist only for few species. We estimated the spontaneous nucleotide …
Repetitive DNA is ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes, but a clear link between its structure, abundance, and biological significance is lacking. There are two main types of repetitive …
