Somatic and germline mutational processes across the tree of life

2026-01-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The characterisation of mutational processes active in somatic and germline cells in vivo has predominantly focused on human cancers, normal tissues and model organisms. Beyond mammals, little is known about mutational processes across the tree of life. We developed an algorithm, himut, to identify somatic mutations from circular consensus long-read sequencing data, deploying it on 708...
