The elements of alternating rows contain mutation scores based on synonymous and non-synonymous mutations, which we define M ij _* (the wild card, * = non-synonymous/synonymous mutations (NSY/SY)) for gene i in sample j as the number of mutated bases, weighted by the functional impact score of this mutation, divided by the total number of bases that have sufficient read depth.
Different approaches based on synonymous sites in genes, transposable elements, or noncoding nonrepetitive sequences can be used to study mutation rate.
