Abstract

Evolution in Action: Rates of evolution in gene and genome sequences have been estimated, but these estimates are subject to error because many of the steps of evolution over the ages are not directly measurable or are hidden under subsequent changes. Ossowski et al. (p. 92 ) now provide a more accurate measurement of how often spontaneous mutations arise in a nuclear genome. Mutations arising over 30 generations were compared by sequencing DNA from individual Arabidopsis thaliana plants. UV- and deamination-induced mutagenesis appeared to bias the type of mutations found.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
