Direct estimate of the spontaneous mutation rate uncovers the effects of drift and recombination in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii plastid genome

Rob W Ness, Susanne A Kraemer, Nick Colegrave, Peter D Keightley

The paper directly estimates the mutation rate in the plastid genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and shows it experiences stronger genetic drift and linkage disequilibrium compared to the nuclear genome.

Recent evolution in Rattus norvegicus is shaped by declining effective population size

Eva E Deinum, Daniel L Halligan, Rob W Ness, Yao-Hua Zhang, Lin Cong, Jian-Xu Zhang, Peter D Keightley

This study analyzes genome sequences of brown rats to show recent population size decline and its impact on genetic diversity and mutation patterns.

Extensive de novo mutation rate variation between individuals and across the genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Rob W Ness, Andrew D Morgan, Radhakrishnan B Vasanthakrishnan, Nick Colegrave, Peter D Keightley

This study identifies extensive de novo mutation rate variation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii through genome sequencing of mutation accumulation lines, revealing strain-specific and sequence-context-dependent mutability.
