<i>De novo</i> structural mutation rates and gamete-of-origin biases revealed through genome sequencing of 2,396 families
2020-10-08
Abstract excerpt
Each human genome includes de novo mutations that arose during gametogenesis. While these germline mutations represent a fundamental source of new genetic diversity, they can also create deleterious alleles that impact fitness. The germline mutation rate for single nucleotide variants and factors that significantly influence this rate, such as parental age, are now well established. However, far less is known abo...
