Mutation bias and GC content shape antimutator invasions
Mutators are expected to re-evolve low mutation rates to reduce deleterious load, but empirical evidence is mixed. Here, the authors show that load can vary across mutators and genetic backgrounds, which their simulations suggest can substantially alter antimutator dynamics.
