Structural underpinnings of mutation rate variations in the human genome.

Abstract excerpt

Single nucleotide mutation rates have critical implications for human evolution and genetic diseases. Importantly, the rates vary substantially across the genome and the principles underlying such variations remain poorly understood. A recent model explained much of this variation by considering higher-order nucleotide interactions in the 7-mer sequence context around mutated nucleotides. This model's success...
