Population dynamics of GC-changing mutations in humans and great apes

2020-09-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The nucleotide composition of the genome is a balance between origin and fixation rates of different mutations. For example, it is well-known that transitions occur more frequently than transversions, particularly at CpG sites. Differences in fixation rates of mutation types are less explored. Specifically, recombination-associated GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) may differentially impact GC-...
