An expanded sequence context model broadly explains variability in polymorphism levels across the human genome.

Abstract excerpt

The rate of single-nucleotide polymorphism varies substantially across the human genome and fundamentally influences evolution and incidence of genetic disease. Previous studies have only considered the immediately flanking nucleotides around a polymorphic site--the site's trinucleotide sequence context--to study polymorphism levels across the genome. Moreover, the impact of larger sequence contexts has not been...
