Adapting Biased Gene Conversion theory to account for intensive GC-content deterioration in the human genome by novel mutations.
We examined seventy million well-characterized human mutations, and their impact on G+C-compositional dynamics, in order to understand the formation and maintenance of major genomic nucleotide sequence patterns. Among novel mutations, those that change a strong (S) base pair G:C/C:G to a weak (W) pa...
