I have identified frequency of SNPs, heterozygotes and homozygotes per 100kb for my eukaryotic species (which is maintained for 100 generations by inbreeding) by readmapping illumina paired-reads to reference genome. From Drake et al. Genetics, 1998, it is inferred that fixed mutations for eurkayotes (mutation rate are measured in substitutions) is 0.003 mutations per genome per generation. Can I use this for mutation rate calculation for of my eurkaryotic species?. How can I correlate my mutation rate to zygosity?

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
