Evolution and Mutation Rate Variation in Arabdopsis

The researchers are looking forward to seeing what other researches do next. Based on the mechanisms that this paper proposed, this phenomena should also exist in other organisms. There's no reason that it only exists in arabdopsis. If it does turn out that ation rates vary across the genome in other organisms too, as gent anticipates, it will be a big deal for the field. This will change fundamentally how we view mutation, selection and evolution.
