Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that there may be inequalities in the types of substitution on the two DNA strands (in particular, in the frequencies of transversions from R to Y and from Y to R) due to a higher error rate on the lagging than the leading strand during replication. Reexamination of 11 kb of the beta-globin region sequenced in six primates fails to confirm this suggestion. Examination of the 73-kb...
