Biased generation and retention of oligonucleotide motifs in the human genome

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

During evolution, variation is created by mutational processes in an organism's genome, and then these variants remain or are purged as a result of selective pressures and drift. Mutation rates are biased at many scales across the genome, and the selective pressure acting on the generated variation as a result of mutations also varies greatly. One well studied example of mutational heterogeneity at single-base res...
