We examine variation in mutation dynamics across a single genome (Zea mays ssp. mays) in relation to regional and flanking base composition rising a data set of 10,472 SNPs generated by resequencing 1776 transcribed regions. We report several relationships between flanking base composition and mutation pattern. The A + Tcontent of the two sites immediately flanking the mutation site is correlated with rate, transition bias, and GC --> AT pressure. We also observe a significant CpG effect, or increase in transition rate at CpG sites. At the regional level we find that the strength of the CpG effect is correlated with regional A + T content, ranging from a 1.7-fold increase in transition rate in relatively G + C-rich regions to a 2.6-fold increase in A + T-rich regions. We also observe a relationship between locus A + T con tent and GC --> AT pressure. This regional effect is in opposition to the influence of the two immediate neighbors in that GC --> AT pressure increases with increasing locus A + Tcontent but decreases with increasing flanking base A + T content and may represent a relationship between genome location and mutation bias. The data indicate Multiple context effects on mutations, resulting in significant variation in mutation dynamics across the genome.
