Extensive phylogenies of human development inferred from somatic mutations

THH Coorens, L Moore, PS Robinson, R Sanghvi… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Starting from the zygote, all cells in the human body continuously acquire mutations.
Mutations shared between different cells imply a common progenitor and are thus naturally …

Lineage tracing of human development through somatic mutations

M Spencer Chapman, AM Ranzoni, B Myers… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The ontogeny of the human haematopoietic system during fetal development has previously
been characterized mainly through careful microscopic observations. Here we reconstruct a …

The landscape of somatic mutation in cerebral cortex of autistic and neurotypical individuals revealed by ultra-deep whole-genome sequencing

RE Rodin, Y Dou, M Kwon, MA Sherman… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
We characterize the landscape of somatic mutations—mutations occurring after fertilization—
in the human brain using ultra-deep (~ 250×) whole-genome sequencing of prefrontal cortex …

Human embryonic genetic mosaicism and its effects on development and disease

SM Waldvogel, JE Posey, MA Goodell - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2024 - nature.com
Nearly every mammalian cell division is accompanied by a mutational event that becomes
fixed in a daughter cell. When carried forward to additional cell progeny, a clone of variant …

The human brain through the lens of somatic mosaicism

S Bizzotto - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Every cell in the human brain possesses a unique genome that is the product of the
accumulation of somatic mutations starting from the first postzygotic cell division and …

Somatic mosaicism reveals clonal distributions of neocortical development

MW Breuss, X Yang, JCM Schlachetzki, D Antaki… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
The structure of the human neocortex underlies species-specific traits and reflects intricate
developmental programs. Here we sought to reconstruct processes that occur during early …

Personalized recurrence risk assessment following the birth of a child with a pathogenic de novo mutation

M Bernkopf, UB Abdullah, SJ Bush, KA Wood… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Following the diagnosis of a paediatric disorder caused by an apparently de novo mutation,
a recurrence risk of 1–2% is frequently quoted due to the possibility of parental germline …

Developmental and temporal characteristics of clonal sperm mosaicism

X Yang, MW Breuss, X Xu, D Antaki, KN James… - Cell, 2021 - cell.com
Throughout development and aging, human cells accumulate mutations resulting in
genomic mosaicism and genetic diversity at the cellular level. Mosaic mutations present in …

Accurate detection of mosaic variants in sequencing data without matched controls

Y Dou, M Kwon, RE Rodin, I Cortés-Ciriano… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Detection of mosaic mutations that arise in normal development is challenging, as such
mutations are typically present in only a minute fraction of cells and there is no clear …
