Title: Unboxing mutations: Connecting mutation types with evolutionary consequences Cord-id: sbr69tv3 Document date: 2020_9_29

Snippet: Mutations are typically classified by their effects on the nucleotide sequence and by their size. Here, we argue that if our main aim is to understand the effect of mutations on evolutionary outcomes (such as adaptation or speciation), we need to instead consider their population genetic and genomic effects, from altering recombination rate to modifying chromatin. We start by reviewing known population genetic and genomic effects of different mutation types and connect these to the major evoluti
Document: Mutations are typically classified by their effects on the nucleotide sequence and by their size. Here, we argue that if our main aim is to understand the effect of mutations on evolutionary outcomes (such as adaptation or speciation), we need to instead consider their population genetic and genomic effects, from altering recombination rate to modifying chromatin. We start by reviewing known population genetic and genomic effects of different mutation types and connect these to the major evolutionary processes of drift and selection. We illustrate how mutation type can thus be linked with evolutionary outcomes and provide suggestions for further exploring and quantifying these relationships. This reframing lays a foundation for determining the evolutionary significance of different mutation types.
