Deterministic Mutation Rate Variation in the Human Genome

This morning, I listened to Vetenskapsradion (“Science Radio”) about how Swedish scientists at Department of Evolutionary Biology have discovered that the genome doesn’t vary randomly over generations, but that they seem to follow patterns. Some parts of the genome vary more than others. There’s an article in Genome Research about this, not free of course, but the abstract is.

The above was posted to my personal weblog on September 9, 2002. My name is Peter Lindberg and I am a thirtysomething software developer and dad living in Stockholm, Sweden. Here, you’ll find posts in English and Swedish about whatever happens to interest me for the moment.
