The scale of mutational variation in the murid genome.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation rates vary across mammalian genomes, but little is known about the scale over which this variation occurs. Knowledge of the magnitude and scale of mutational variation is required to understand the processes that drive mutation, and is essential in formulating a robust null hypothesis for comparative genomics studies. Here we estimate the scale of mutational variation in the murid genome by calculating...
