Inference of candidate germline mutator loci in humans from genome-wide haplotype data

2016-11-26

Abstract excerpt

The rate of germline mutation varies widely between species but little is known about the extent of variation in the germline mutation rate between individuals of the same species. Here we demonstrate that an allele that increases the rate of germline mutation can result in a distinctive signature in the genomic region linked to the affected locus, characterized by a number of haplotypes with a locally high propor...
