Variation in the Spectrum of New Mutations among Inbred Strains of Mice.

Abstract excerpt

The mouse serves as a mammalian model for understanding the nature of variation from new mutations, a question that has both evolutionary and medical significance. Previous studies suggest that the rate of single-nucleotide mutations (SNMs) in mice is ∼50% of that in humans. However, information largely comes from studies involving the C57BL/6 strain, and there is little information from other mouse strains....
