Genomic stability: A double-edged sword for sharks https://phys.org/news/2023-10-genomic-stability-double-edged-sword-sharks.html
Low mutation rate in #EpauletteSharks is consistent with a slow rate of #evolution in #sharks: Ashley Sendell-Price et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42238-x
"With an estimated #MutationRate of 7×10-10 per base pair per generation, they have the lowest mutation rate yet recorded in #vertebrates. It is ten to twenty times lower than in #mammals."
