Slow DNA Loss in the Gigantic Genomes of Salamanders
Evolutionary changes in genome size result from the combined effects of mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. Insertion and deletion mutations (indels) directly impact genome size by adding or removing sequences. Most species lose more DNA through small indels (i.e., ∼1–30 bp) than they ga...
