Comparative Analysis of Context-Dependent Mutagenesis Using Human and Mouse Models

Substitution rates strongly depend on their nucleotide context. One of the most studied examples is the excess of C > T mutations in the CG context in various groups of organisms, including vertebrates. Studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying this mutation regularity have provided insights...
