Pedigree-based measurement of the <i>de novo</i> mutation rate in the gray mouse lemur reveals a high mutation rate, few mutations in CpG sites, and a weak sex bias
2019-08-05
Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous germline mutations are the raw material on which evolution acts, and knowledge of their frequency and genomic distribution is crucial for understanding how evolution operates at both long and short timescales. At present, the rate and spectrum of de novo mutations have been directly characterized in only a few lineages. It is therefore critical to expand the phylogenetic scope of these studies to gain...
