Unboxing mutations: Connecting mutation types with evolutionary consequences
Emma L. Berdan, Alexandre Blanckaert, Tanja Slotte +3
Mutations are typically classified by their effects on the nucleotide sequence and by their size. Here, we argue that if our main aim is to understand the effect of mutations on ev…
