Somatic mutations track age in reef-building corals

Whole-genome sequencing of eight coral colonies showed somatic mutations followed power-law distributions, faced purifying selection, and helped age a…Whole-genome sequencing of eight coral colonies showed somatic mutations followed power-law distributions, faced purifying selection, and helped age a colony to nearly a century.
