Context and Mutation in Gymnosperm Chloroplast DNA.
Genes - 22 Jul 2023
Morton Brian R
Abstract excerpt
Mutations and subsequent repair processes are known to be strongly context-dependent in the flowering-plant chloroplast genome. At least six flanking bases, three on each side, can have an influence on the relative rates of different types of mutation at any given site. In this analysis, examine context and substitution at noncoding and fourfold degenerate coding sites in gymnosperm DNA. The sequences are...
