TL;DR: It is shown that mutation rates are higher in heterozygotes and in proximity to crossover events, and a correlation between recombination rate and intraspecific diversity is in part owing to a higher mutation rate in domains of high recombination/diversity.

TL;DR: It is concluded that some mutation rate variation between tissues is consistent with selectionist theory but that a mechanistic null of mutational fragility should be considered.

TL;DR: Analysis of F2 Arabidopsis plants and their parents reveals recombination hot spots and unexpectedly high recombination rates near centromeres, which may be responsible for the previously unexplained pattern of high genetic diversity nearArabidopsis Centromeres.

TL;DR: In this article, parent-offspring sequencing of the peach was used to determine the mutation rate of the fruit. And the results showed that the peach has an approximately order of magnitude lower mutation rate than Arabidopsis, consistent with reports of low evolutionary rates in woody perennials.

TL;DR: The genome of Tetep, a widely used resistance donor, was sequenced to decipher the molecular basis of its broad-spectrum and durable blast resistance, and a large number of functional NLR genes and interactive NLR networks in the genome were uncovered.
