Mutation rate and spectrum in Caenorhabditis elegans mutation accumulation lines subjected to RNAi-induced knockdown of the mismatch repair gene msh-2

V. Katju, A. Konrad, T. C. Deiss, U. Bergthorsson

This study evaluates mutation rate and spectrum in C. elegans with impaired MMR gene msh-2, finding increased base substitutions and indels, but no change in mtDNA or copy-number variation of single-copy genes.

Global Gene Expression Divergence in Spontaneous Mutation Accumulation Lines of Caenorhabditis elegans under Varying Efficiency of Selection

T. C. Deiss, A. Konrad, U. Bergthorsson, V. Katju

This study examines how varying selection efficiency affects gene expression divergence in C. elegans mutation accumulation lines, finding increased transcriptional noise and specific pathway overexpression under low selection.

Mutational Landscape of Spontaneous Base Substitutions and Small Indels in Experimental Caenorhabditis elegans Populations of Differing Size

A. Konrad, M. J. Brady, U. Bergthorsson, V. Katju

The paper investigates mutation rates and fitness effects in C. elegans populations of different sizes, finding no correlation between mutation frequency and population size for base substitutions and small indels.
