  1. ...or false positives should affect all families similarly, allowing for direct comparisons.Moreover, compared to other poikilothermic species, the absolute value of the mutation rate in the guppy is similar to whole pedigree-based estimates in poikilotherms, and also similar to rates seen in some endothermic...
  2. ...genetic disorders. Mutational burden has been linked to complex disease, including neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. The rate of mutation is a fundamental genomic parameter and direct estimates of this parameter have been enabled by accurate comparisons of whole- sequences...
  3. ...-to-end joined circular molecules that are used as substrates for transcription and Dcl5-dependent production of iesRNAs, before being eventually degraded (Allen et al. 2017). The existence of multi-IES concatemers, however, was only supported by the sequencing of reverse-transcribed RNA molecules, and direct...
  4. ...of observable mutation types and the synonymous versus nonsynonymous mutation confound, further observations are in the expected direction (Supplemental Text S11). The correspondence observed could not have been predicted from the mutations’ GWA rates, even when adjusting for the genetic context (Supplemental...
  5. ...methylation has substantially impacted the large-scale evolution of mammalian s. Spontaneous deamination elevates the mutation rate at methylated cytosines (Bird 1980). Consequently, germline DNA methylation profiles have shaped the CpG landscape of mammalian s (Cohen et al. 2011), resulting in the CpG island...
  6. ...have a higher rate of CG decay than SUMIs that are unmethylated in the neutrophil. Methylated CGs undergo mutation to TG (but not to AG or GG) much more frequently than unmethylated CGs (Coulondre et al. 1978). The mutation is heritable if it occurs in the germline; this is the basis...
  7. ...problems with this explanation. First, ancient repeats, far older than any analyzed here and likely more CpG-poor than any analyzed here, are not excluded from closed chromatin ( Prendergast et al. 2007 ). Therefore, recruitment of a given sequence into silent chromatin may not be a direct function of its...
  8. ...stretches of DNA in sperm. This is, to date, the largest data release of direct DNA methylation measurements. We found that the average methylation was significantly higher in amplicons located within recombination hot spots compared with amplicons that are not. Furthermore, the distribution of amplicons...
  9. ...are consistent with selection acting on IESs that interrupt coding sequences to ensure that excision failure will result in transcripts that can be recognized by NMD. Confirmation of this hypothesis must await direct experimental validation (e.g., by measuring the rate of retention of IESs in mRNAs from NMD...
  10. ...here suggest that differences in recombination rate between genes with caste-biased patterns of gene expression are mainly because of underlying differences in methylation levels among genes.A direct effect of germline DNA methylation in suppressing recombination could influence variation...
