Here utilizing primate and rodent genomic alignments we apply two multivariate analysis techniques principal components and canonical correlations to investigate the structure of rate co-variation for four mutation types and simultaneously explore the associations with multiple genomic features at different genomic scales and phylogenetic distances. Results We observe a consistent largely linear co-variation among rates of nucleotide substitutions small insertions and small deletions with some non-linear associations detected among these rates on chromosome X and near autosomal telomeres. This co-variation appears to be shaped by a common set of genomic features some previously investigated and some novel to this study nuclear lamina binding sites methylated non-CpG sites and nucleosome-free regions . Strong non-linear relationships are also detected among genomic features near the centromeres of large chromosomes. Microsatellite mutability co-varies with other mutation rates at finer scales but not at 1 Mb and shows varying degrees of association with genomic features at different scales. Conclusions Our results allow us to speculate about the role of different molecular mechanisms such as replication recombination repair and local chromatin environment in mutagenesis. The software tools developed for our analyses are available through Galaxy an open-source genomics portal to facilitate the use of multivariate .
