Effect of mutation mechanisms on variant composition and distribution in Caenorhabditis elegans.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Jan 2017

Hwang Ho-Yon, Wang Jiou

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity is maintained by continuing generation and removal of variants. While examining over 800,000 DNA variants in wild isolates of Caenorhabditis elegans, we made a discovery that the proportions of variant types are not constant across the C. elegans genome. The variant proportion is defined as the fraction of a specific variant type (e.g. single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) or indel) within a...
