Repeat-induced point mutation in Neurospora crassa causes the highest known mutation rate and mutational burden of any cellular life

BACKGROUND: Repeat-induced point (RIP) mutation in Neurospora crassa degrades transposable elements by targeting repeats with C→T mutations. Whether RIP affects core genomic sequence in important ways is unknown. RESULTS: By parent-offspring whole genome sequencing, we estimate a mutation rate (3.38...
