Heterogeneous distribution of SNPs in the human genome: microsatellites as predictors of nucleotide diversity and divergence.

Genomics - 1 Mar 2010

Varela Miguel A, Amos William

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the forces that govern the distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms is vital for many of their applications. Here we conducted a systematic search to quantify how both SNP density and human-chimpanzee divergence vary around different repetitive sequences. We uncovered a highly complicated picture in which these quantities often differ significantly from the genome-wide average in regions...
