Accurate and fast methods to estimate the population mutation rate from error prone sequences.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The population mutation rate (theta) remains one of the most fundamental parameters in genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology. However, its accurate estimation can be seriously compromised when working with error prone data such as expressed sequence tags, low coverage draft sequences, and other such unfinished products. This study is premised on the simple idea that a random sequence error due...
