Chromosomal transmission bias in laboratory hybrids between wild strains of the two European subspecies of house mice.

abstract：:Detecting and quantifying the differences in individual genomes (i.e., genotyping), plays a fundamental role in most modern bioinformatics pipelines. Many scientists now use reduced representation next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches for genotyping. Genotyping diploid individuals using NGS is a well-studied fie...

abstract：:Microsatellites have been widely used as tools for population studies. However, inference about population processes relies on the specification of mutation parameters that are largely unknown and likely to differ across loci. Here, we use data on somatic mutations to investigate the mutation process at 14 tetranucleo...
