Postzygotic single-nucleotide mutations (pSNMs) have been studied in cancer and a few other overgrowth human disorders at whole-genome scale and found to play critical roles. However, in clinically ...

The first affected male in this family was the second of four sons born to nonconsanguineous healthy parents after an unremarkable pregnancy. In particular, the mother did not exhibit any dysmorphism ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Recent reviews of reproductive isolation (RI) in plants propose that boundaries between closely related species are maintained predominantly through prezygotic mechanisms.

Researchers headed by a team at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have created what they claim to be the largest atlas of post-zygotic mutations (PZMs) in healthy human tissue. They generated ...

Human genetic variation in both health and disease can arise through inherited germline genetic variants, changes that form the basis of inherited genetic traits. It has become increasingly recognized ...
