Mutational bias in spermatogonia impacts the anatomy of regulatory sites in the human genome.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation in the germline is the ultimate source of genetic variation, but little is known about the influence of germline chromatin structure on mutational processes. Using ATAC-seq, we profile the open chromatin landscape of human spermatogonia, the most proliferative cell type of the germline, identifying transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) and PRDM9 binding sites, a subset of which will initiate meiotic...
