Calibrating the Human Mutation Rate via Ancestral Recombination Density in Diploid Genomes

2015-02-20

Abstract excerpt

The human mutation rate is an essential parameter for studying the evolution of our species, interpreting present-day genetic variation, and understanding the incidence of genetic disease. Nevertheless, our current estimates of the rate are uncertain. Most notably, recent approaches based on counting de novo mutations in family pedigrees have yielded significantly smaller values than classical methods based on se...
