Sex-specific viability effects of mutations in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper measures sex-specific viability effects of mutations in Drosophila melanogaster and finds that both marker mutations and mutagenized chromosomes reduce viability in both sexes, with some sex-biased selection but not male-biased mutational variance.

An experimental test of the mutation-selection balance model for the maintenance of genetic variance in fitness components

The paper tests the mutation-selection balance model for genetic variance in three Drosophila traits, finding some evidence of non-mutational variance in sexual fitness components.

The genome-wide rate and spectrum of spontaneous mutations differs between haploid and diploid yeast

This study compares mutation rates and spectra between haploid and diploid yeast, finding haploids have more single-nucleotide and mitochondrial mutations, while diploids have more structural changes and detrimental mutations.
