The origin of human mutation in light of genomic data.

Abstract excerpt

Despite years of active research into the role of DNA repair and replication in mutagenesis, surprisingly little is known about the origin of spontaneous human mutation in the germ line. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing, genome-scale data have revealed statistical properties of mutagenesis in humans. These properties include variation of the mutation rate and spectrum along the genome at different...
