Drift-barrier hypothesis and mutation-rate evolution
Drift-barrier hypothesis and mutation-rate evolution is a scholarly work by Matthew S Ackerman and Thomas G Doak, published in 2012 in ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America''. The main subjects of the publication include biology, eukaryote, effective population size, mutation, Genome evolution, molecular evolution, genome, genome size, evolution of ageing, population, evolutionary dynamics, RNA sequencing, natural selection, evolutionary biology, mutation rate, population genetics, genetics, neutral theory of molecular evolution, genetic drift, and multicellular organism. The authors report refined estimates of the mutation rate for a prokaryote with an exceptionally small genome and for a unicellular eukaryote with a large genome.
