Variation in the mutation rate across mammalian genomes.

Abstract excerpt

It has been known for many years that the mutation rate varies across the genome. However, only with the advent of large genomic data sets is the full extent of this variation becoming apparent. The mutation rate varies over many different scales, from adjacent sites to whole chromosomes, with the strongest variation seen at the smallest scales. Some of these patterns have clear mechanistic bases, but much of the...
