Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for selection on synonymous mutations affecting stability of mRNA secondary structure in mammals
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that, in mammals, synonymous sites do not evolve neutrally, at least in part owing to selection on mRNA stability, which has implications for the application of synonymous divergence in estimating the mutation rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for Purifying Selection Against Synonymous Mutations in Mammalian Exonic Splicing Enhancers
TL;DR: It is shown that synonymous sites in putative ESEs evolve more slowly than the remaining exonic sequence, and constraints on synonymous evolution within E SEs causes the true mutation rate to be underestimated by not more than approximately 8%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Similar Rates but Different Modes of Sequence Evolution in Introns and at Exonic Silent Sites in Rodents: Evidence for Selectively Driven Codon Usage
TL;DR: The rate of evolution at fourfold sites and at intronic sites is similar in magnitude, but only after eliminating putatively constrained sites from introns (first introns and sites flanking intron-exon junctions).
Journal ArticleDOI
The price of silent mutations.
TL;DR: Research in nucleotide sequencing that discovered a connection between a silent genetic mutation and health problems such as Marfan syndrome, Hirschsprung disease, and phenylketonuria is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biased codon usage near intron-exon junctions: selection on splicing enhancers, splice-site recognition or something else?
TL;DR: It is shown that generalized A and T enrichment exists, which could be independent of splicing regulation, and support for cryptic splice-site avoidance is diminished.
