Integrated map of somatic mosaicism across human tissues in 25 individuals

bioRxiv

Abstract

Although all cells in the body descend from one genome, they accumulate distinct genetic and epigenetic changes over a lifetime, producing a mosaic of somatic variation that can shape development, aging, and disease. This mosaicism is often studied in isolation, leaving unclear how these forms relate within and between individuals.
