Fig. 1From: pCADD: SNV prioritisation in Sus scrofaa Fixed alleles that differ between the investigated pig population and an inferred ancestor sequence are used as proxy benign/neutral SNVs. b First step of the simulation: differences between evolutionary differently distant ancestor sequences are identified and substitution rates are derived. c Simulation, second step: the derived substitution rates are used to simulate de novo variants that have not experienced any selection and thus are not depleted in deleterious variantsBack to article page
