TABLE 2.

Mutability index for WT and AID mutants

The mutability index is defined as the number of times a given trinucleotide motif within a segment of DNA contains a mutation, divided by the number of times the oligonucleotide would be expected to be mutated for a mechanism with no sequence bias (5, 40).
