The rate and spectrum of new mutations in mice inferred by long-read sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

All forms of genetic variation originate from new mutations, making it crucial to understand their rates and mechanisms. Here, we use long-read sequencing from Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) to investigate de novo mutations that accumulated in 12 inbred mouse lines derived from three commonly used inbred strains (C3H, C57BL/6, and FVB) maintained for 8 to 15 generations in a mutation accumulation (MA) experiment....
