<h4>Summary</h4>Mutation accumulation (MA) is the most widely used method for directly studying the effects of mutation. By sequencing whole genomes from MA lines, researchers can directly study the rate and molecular spectra of spontaneous mutations and use these results to understand how mutation contributes to biological processes. At present there is no software designed specifically for identifying mutations from MA lines. Here we describe accuMUlate, a probabilistic mutation caller that re ...[more]
