This research aims to enhance genomic diagnostics by challenging existing views on genome evolution and mutation effects. It explores how selection pressures might act on seemingly neutral mutations and seeks to develop tools for identifying disease-causing genetic changes.
To make for better diagnostics and safer applications of genomics we need a better understanding of our genome and how it functions.
Until recently we thought we knew: intergenic sequence must be largely “junk” and mutations that, for example, affect genes but not the protein (synonymous mutations) must be effectively neutral.
This degenerate genome view accords with the nearly-neutral theory’s prediction that selection will be weaker when populations are small.
But is this all there is to it? I…
