The germline mutational process in rhesus macaque and its implications for phylogenetic dating

2020-06-23

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the rate and pattern of germline mutations is of fundamental importance for understanding evolutionary processes. Here we analyzed 19 parent-offspring trios of rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) at high sequencing coverage of ca. 76X per individual, and estimated an average rate of 0.77 × 10 −8 de novo mutations per site per generation (95 % CI: 0.69 × 10 −8 - 0.85 × 10 −8 ). By phasing 50 % of t...
