Abstract excerpt
The human brain is a genomic mosaic, where postzygotic mutations arising from embryogenesis to senescence drive diverse neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Because of numerous sequencing artifacts at ultralow variant allele frequencies (VAFs), detecting these variants remains a significant analytical challenge. This review focuses on single-nucleotide variants and small indels, summarizing current...
