Mutational signatures of replication timing and epigenetic modification persist through the global divergence of mutation spectra across the great ape phylogeny
2019-10-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Great ape clades exhibit variation in the relative mutation rates of different three-base-pair genomic motifs, with closely related species having more similar mutation spectra than distantly related species. This pattern cannot be explained by classical demographic or selective forces, but imply that DNA replication fidelity has been perturbed in different ways on each branch of the great ape p...
