Nature. 2022;602(7895):162-8. doi: 10.1038/s41586-021-04312-6.PubMed ID: 35058638Brief summary: This study performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 1013 clonal haematopoietic cell colonies from 12 adult patients aged 20–81 years with myeloproliferative neoplasms, a form of blood cancer. They identified 580 133 somatic mutations and used these to reconstruct haematopoietic clonal his...

Nature. 2021 Sep;597(7876):381–386. doi: 10.1038/s41586-021-03822-7.Brief Summary: This study investigated the mutational background of somatic cells and rates of mutation in 29 distinct anatomical structures and compared these with the male germline from the same donor. The rate of mutation was lowest in spermatogonia.Characterization of mutations that occur in...
