Older age was linked to more DNA deletions in human colon

Simple DNA deletion counts showed an overall roughly 10-fold increase across ages 0.8 months to 90 years in people without radiation or chemotherapy treatment.Simple DNA deletion counts showed an overall roughly 10-fold increase across ages 0.8 months to 90 years in people without radiation or chemotherapy treatment.
