Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations play a pivotal role in evolution and are the primary cause of hereditary diseases in humans. Although interpopulation and interspecific variations in the mutation rate and spectrum are observed, their underlying genetic basis is still unclear. In this study, we explore the genetic regulation of germline mutation rates using one of the largest publicly available datasets derived from...
