    Abstract:
    Several lines of research are now converging towards an integrated understanding of mutational mechanisms and their evolutionary implications. Experimentally, crystal structures reveal the effect of sequence context on polymerase fidelity; large-scale sequencing projects generate vast amounts of sequence polymorphism data; and locus-specific databases are being constructed. Computationally, software and analytical tools have been developed to analyze mutational data, to identify mutational hot spots, and to compare the signatures of mutagenic agents.
