Nucleosome positioning stability is a modulator of germline mutation rate variation across the human genome

Nucleosome organization has been suggested to affect local mutation rates in the genome. Here, the authors analyse data on >300,000 human de novo mutations and high-resolution nucleosome maps and provide evidence that nucleosome positioning stability modulates germline mutation rate variation acr...
