Variation in Mutation Spectra Across Eukaryotes Reveals Key Drivers of Genetic Variation

Mutation spectra in eukaryotic species are influenced by genetic and environmental contexts, leading to differences between and within species. Research on mutation spectrum has traditionally focused on trinucleotide mutations in mammals. However, a recent study employed whole-genome resequencing data across 108 eukaryotic species to characterize pentanucleotide non-coding mutation spectra. The
