Epigenetic modifications affect the rate of spontaneous mutations in a pathogenic fungus
Mutations are the source of genetic variation and the substrate for evolution. Genome-wide
mutation rates appear to be affected by selection and are probably adaptive. Mutation rates …

The non-Mendelian behavior of plant B chromosomes
J Chen, JA Birchler, A Houben - Chromosome Research, 2022 - Springer
B chromosomes, also known as supernumerary chromosomes, are dispensable elements in
the genome of many plants, animals, and fungi. Many B chromosomes have evolved one or …
