Determinants of de novo mutations in extended pedigrees of 43 dog breeds
2024-06-05
Abstract excerpt
Intensive breeding of dogs has had dramatic effects on genetic variants underlying phenotypes. To investigate whether this also affected mutation rates, we deep-sequenced pedigrees from 43 different dog breeds representing 404 trios. We find that the mutation rate is remarkably stable across breeds and is predominantly influenced by variation in parental ages. The effect of paternal age per year on mutation rates...
