我们能预测人类基因组单核苷酸尺度上的突变率吗?

Can we predict the mutation rate at the single nucleotide scale in the human genome?

Adam Eyre-Walker, Ying Chen

摘要:

最近声称,可以以几乎完美的准确度预测人类基因组中每个位点的从头突变率(Michaelson等人(2012)Cell,151,1431-1442)。我们证明这种说法是没有根据的。通过考虑从头突变率与Michaelson等人的模型预测之间的相关性,我们发现在突变率中可能存在大量无法解释的变异。我们还证明了Michaelson等人的模型未能捕获突变率变化的主要组成部分,这是局部的,但与简单的背景无关。

英文摘要:

It has been recently claimed that it is possible to predict the rate of de novo mutation of each site in the human genome with almost perfect accuracy (Michaelson et al. (2012) Cell, 151, 1431-1442). We show that this claim is unwarranted. By considering the correlation between the rate of de novo mutation and the predictions from the model of Michaelson et al., we show that there could be substantial unexplained variance in the mutation rate. We also demonstrate that the model of Michaelson et al. fails to capture a major component of the variation in the mutation rate, that which is local but not associated with simple context.
