Contrasting mutation patterns in haploid and diploid cells from two yeast species

Kevin H. Bao, Rutuja Gupte, Neil P. Braker, Nathaniel P. Sharp

The paper compares mutation rates in haploid and diploid cells of two yeast species, finding higher mutation rates in the rare cell type, supporting the drift barrier hypothesis.
