This study identifies mosaic chromosomal alterations in healthy human tissues, revealing tissue-specific patterns of mitotic errors and purifying selection across aging.

This study benchmarks six duplex sequencing technologies to evaluate their performance in detecting somatic mutations across different genomic contexts and tissue types.

The paper uses single-cell DNA sequencing to analyze somatic mosaicism in postmortem lung and colon tissues, revealing mutation heterogeneity, chromosomal abnormalities, and cellular ancestry.

The paper benchmarks somatic variant and indel detection at low allele fractions using short- and long-read data, finding sensitivity and precision around 80% at 300x coverage.

The paper develops a framework to detect and trace somatic retrotransposition events in human tissues, identifying rare L1 insertions and improving detection accuracy.
