Chromatin structure influences rate and spectrum of spontaneous mutations in Neurospora crassa.

Abstract excerpt

Although mutation rates have been extensively studied, variation in mutation rates throughout the genome is poorly understood. To understand patterns of genetic variation, it is important to understand how mutation rates vary. Chromatin modifications may be an important factor in determining variation in mutation rates in eukaryotic genomes. To study variation in mutation rates, we performed a mutation...
