TL;DR: In this paper , a large survey of de novo mutations in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana was conducted and it was shown that mutations occur less often in functionally constrained regions of the genome.

TL;DR: This work sequenced and assembled the A. tuberculatus genome, investigated the origins and population genomics of 163 resequenced glyphosate-resistant and susceptible individuals from Canada and the United States, and discovered multiple modes of convergent evolution.

TL;DR: The results suggest that high mutation rate potentially contributes to high polymorphism and low mutation rate to reduced polymorphism in natural populations providing insights of mutational inputs in generating natural genetic diversity.

TL;DR: While the remarkable diversity of A. tuberculatus has facilitated geographic parallel adaptation of glyphosate resistance, different timescales of selection have favored either adaptation from standing variation or de novo mutation in certain parts of the range.

TL;DR: A higher genetic diversification of Onchocerca ochengi is suggested than previously reported, with two distinct groups of mitochondrial haplotypes found in cattle as well as in flies.
