Abstract excerpt
We analyzed n-mers (n=3-8) in the local environment of 8,249,446 human SNPs and compared their distribution with that in the genome reference sequences. The results revealed that the short sequences, which contained at least one CpG dinucleotide, occurred more frequently in the local SNP sequences than in the genome sequences. To exclude the hypermutability effect of the methylated CpG dinucleotides on the...
