The evolution and convergence of mutation spectra across mammals.

Abstract excerpt

Despite the key role genetic mutations play in shaping phenotypic differences between species, little is currently known about the evolution of germline mutation spectra across mammals. Domesticated species are likely particularly interesting case studies because of their high mutation rates and complex evolutionary histories, which can span multiple founding events and genetic bottlenecks. Here we have developed...
