Somatic mutations inferred from RNA-seq data highlight the contribution of replication timing to mutation rate variation in a model plant.

Abstract excerpt

Variation in the rates and characteristics of germline and somatic mutations across the genome of an organism is informative about DNA damage and repair processes and can also shed light on aspects of organism physiology and evolution. We adapted a recently developed method for inferring somatic mutations from bulk RNA-seq data and applied it to a large collection of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. The wide...
