A paternal bias in germline mutation is widespread in amniotes and can arise independently of cell divisions

The paper examines paternal bias in germline mutations across 42 amniote species and finds a consistent paternal-to-maternal mutation ratio despite varying gametogenesis and environments.

A comparison of humans and baboons suggests germline mutation rates do not track cell divisions

This paper compares germline mutation rates between humans and baboons, finding similar male mutation bias despite differences in reproductive timing, challenging the cell division hypothesis.
