Priya Moorjani and graduate student discover new findings on evolution of human germline mutations

Priya Moorjani, Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Berkeley, along with her graduate student Yulin Zhang and other colleagues recently published a new paper titled “Timing and causes of the evolution of the germline mutation spectrum in humans.” The paper details research findings and describes their framework developed to characterize temporal changes in polymorphisms within and between human populations, while controlling for the effects of selection and biased gene conversion. Thus, they concluded that other factors such as genetic modifiers or environmental exposures had a considerable impact on human evolutionary mutations.
