Inferring somatic mutation dynamics from genomic variation across branches within long-lived tropical trees

2026-04-04

Abstract excerpt

Trees accumulate somatic mutations throughout their long lifespan, resulting in genetic mosaicism among branches. While recent genomic studies quantified these mutations, they were largely limited to describing static patterns of variation. In this study, we developed a mathematical model to infer the dynamic processes of somatic mutation accumulation from snapshot genomic data obtained from four tropical trees (D...
