Measuring the prevalence of regional mutation rates: an analysis of silent substitutions in mammals, fungi, and insects.

BMC evolutionary biology - 27 Jun 2008

Fox Aleah K, Tuch Brian B, Chuang Jeffrey H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The patterns of mutation vary both within and across genomes. It has been shown for a few mammals that mutation rates vary within the genome, while for unknown reasons, the sensu stricto yeasts have uniform rates instead. The generality of these observations has been unknown. Here we examine silent site substitutions in a more expansive set (20 mammals, 27 fungi, 4 insects) to determine why some...
