Population size determines the type of nucleotide variations in humans

2017-04-24

Abstract excerpt

It is well known that the effective size of a population ( N e ) is one of the major determinants of the amount of genetic variation within the population. Here, we examined whether the types of genetic variations are dictated by the effective population size. Our results revealed that for low frequency variants, the ratio of AT→GC to GC→AT variants ( β ) was similar across populations, suggesting the similarity...
