Computational analysis of mutation spectra

Computational analysis of mutation spectra

Mutation frequencies vary along a nucleotide sequence, and nucleotide positions with an exceptionally high mutation frequency are called hotspots. Mutation hotspots in DNA often reflect intrinsic properties of the mutation process, such as the specificity with which mutagens interact with nucleic acids and the sequence-specificity of DNA repair/replication enzymes. They might also reflect struc...

Analysis of germline mutation spectra at the Huntington's disease locus supports a mitotic mutation mechanism.

Trinucleotide repeat disease alleles can undergo 'dynamic' mutations in which repeat number may change when a gene is transmitted from parent to offspring. By typing >3500 sperm, we determined the size distribution of Huntington's disease (HD) germline mutations produced by 26 individuals from the Venezuelan cohort with CAG/CTG repeat numbers ranging from 37 to 62. Both the mutation frequency a...
