Evolution of a higher intracellular oxidizing environment in Caenorhabditis elegans under relaxed selection.

Evolution of a higher intracellular oxidizing environment in Caenorhabditis elegans under relaxed selection.

We explored the relationship between relaxed selection, oxidative stress, and spontaneous mutation in a set of mutation-accumulation (MA) lines of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and in their common ancestor. We measured steady-state levels of free radicals and oxidatively damaged guanosine nucl...
