Mutation dynamics and fitness effects lie at the heart of evolutionary change. Every generation, genomes accrue spontaneous alterations ranging from single-nucleotide substitutions to larger ...
Population genetics examines how harmful genetic variants arise, persist and are purged in natural and managed populations. Deleterious mutations reduce individual fitness and their fate is governed ...
A new study suggests the immune system relies on repeated rounds of mutation and competition rather than perfect selection to ...
