bioRxiv - High germline mutation rates but not extreme population size outbreaks influence genetic diversity in crown-of-thorns sea stars

Ever wondered what mutation rates might be like for marine invertebrates? #preprint led by Iva Popovic provides the first de novo #mutationrate estimate for a #marineinvertebrate ... spoiler alert, it's pretty high.

@ct_bergstrom The wonderful #CoverImage @ScienceMagazine -
"ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (in the cydippid stage) with part of its internal nerve net shown in yellow and orange. Three-dimensional analysis reveals that neurons of the internal nerve net form a continuous membrane network rather than connecting through synaptic junctions... llustration: C.Bickel" https://www.science.org/cms/asset/d89d03c4-64aa-4b02-b93e-b1c21eba17de/science.2023.380.issue-6642.largecover.jpg
