Selection Acts on DNA Secondary Structures to Decrease Transcriptional Mutagenesis

Single-stranded DNA is more subject to mutation than double stranded. During transcription, DNA is transiently single stranded and therefore subject to higher mutagenesis. However, if local intra-strand secondary structures are formed, some bases will be paired and therefore less sensitive to mutati...
