The fitness effects of spontaneous mutations nearly unseen by selection in a bacterium with multiple chromosomes

The paper analyzes the fitness effects of spontaneous mutations in Burkholderia cenocepacia using mutation accumulation experiments and genome sequencing.

Genome-wide biases in the rate and molecular spectrum of spontaneous mutations in Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio fischeri

This study measures mutation rates and spectra in two Vibrio species under minimal selection, finding low mutation rates and AT-biased spectra, with MMR loss causing convergence in mutation patterns.

Diverse phenotypic and genetic responses to short-term selection in evolving Escherichia coli populations

This study examines the phenotypic and genetic responses of Escherichia coli to short-term selection, finding diverse fitness effects and reduced mutation benefits in adapted genotypes across environments.

The rate and molecular spectrum of spontaneous mutations in the GC-rich multi-chromosome genome of Burkholderia cenocepacia

This study analyzes the mutation rates and spectra in Burkholderia cenocepacia, revealing non-AT-biased mutations and chromosome-specific variation.
