Abstract excerpt
DNA replication errors that escape polymerase proofreading and mismatch repair (MMR) can lead to base substitution and frameshift mutations. Such mutations can disrupt gene function, reduce fitness, and promote diseases such as cancer and are also the raw material of molecular evolution. To analyze with limited bias genomic features associated with DNA polymerase errors, we performed a genome-wide analysis of...
