Transgenerational transmission of post-zygotic mutations suggests symmetric contribution of first two blastomeres to human germline

Kavli Affiliate: Flora Vaccarino | Authors: Yeongjun Jang, Livia Tomasini, Taejeong Bae, Anna Szekely, Flora M. Vaccarino and Alexej Abyzov | Summary: Little is known about the origin of germ cells in humans. We previously leveraged post-zygotic mutations to reconstruct zygote-rooted cell lineage ancestry trees in a phenotypically normal woman, termed NC0. Here, by sequencing […]
