CpG dinucleotides and the mutation rate of non-CpG DNA.

Genome research - 1 Sept 2008

Walser Jean-Claude, Ponger Loïc, Furano Anthony V

Abstract excerpt

The neutral mutation rate is equal to the base substitution rate when the latter is not affected by natural selection. Differences between these rates may reveal that factors such as natural selection, linkage, or a mutator locus are affecting a given sequence. We examined the neutral base substitution rate by measuring the sequence divergence of approximately 30,000 pairs of inactive orthologous L1...
