Our latest work is out in Nature today. In this paper, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Somatic mutation and selection at population scale - Nature
A new version of nanorate DNA&nbsp;sequencing, with an&nbsp;error rate&nbsp;lower than five errors&nbsp;per billion base pairs&nbsp;and compatible with whole-exome and targeted capture, enables epidemiological-scale studies of somatic mutation and selection&nbsp;and&nbsp;the generation of high-resolution&nbsp;selection&nbsp;maps across coding and non-coding sites for many genes.

Our #Cancer #Evolution summer school runs again 30 June-3 July at the beautiful Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK sponsored by @wellcometrust.bsky.social

Ideal for starters in the field; this year's focus is on using genomic data for cancer evo research.

Brilliant & inspiring faculty! bit.ly/40nLdDD

How would you expect somatic mutation rate to correlate with species longevity? Study in 2022 by @atjcagan.bsky.social etal in @nature.com discovered key patterns. Our model predicts some of these and highlights possible mechanisms driving co-evolutionary dynamics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Disease as a mediator of somatic mutation-life history coevolution
Multicellular organisms are confronted not only with mutation in germline, but also mutations emerging in somatic cells. Somatic mutations can lead cancers and possibly contribute to aging phenotypes....
