Co-segregation of recombinant chromatids maintains genome-wide heterozygosity in an asexual nematode

The study shows that genome-wide heterozygosity in the asexual nematode Mesorhabditis belari is maintained through directed assortment of recombinant chromatids during female meiosis.

Bedrock radioactivity influences the rate and spectrum of mutation

This study finds that higher natural radioactivity in subterranean habitats increases mutation rates and specific mutation types in waterlice.
