Transgenerational transmission of post-zygotic mutations suggests symmetric contribution of first two blastomeres to human germline
2024-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the origin of germ cells in humans. We previously leveraged post-zygotic mutations to reconstruct zygote-rooted cell lineage ancestry trees in a phenotypically normal woman, termed NC0. Here, by sequencing the genome of her children and their father, we analyzed the transmission of early pre-gastrulation lineages and corresponding mutations across human generations. We found that the germline...
