This study tracks somatic mutation evolution in hair follicles to forecast early skin cancer development non-invasively.

This study shows that genetic background and environmental factors determine the trajectory of cancer evolution in mice, with distinct mutational paths despite similar final tumor states.

The paper presents a high-quality de novo genome assembly of Ansells mole-rat using long-read, short-read, and Hi-C data, enabling genetic and phylogenetic studies.
