Somatic mutations in lung diseases
Reposted by Chuling Ding
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.

The ‘cell of origin’ of the second most common lung cancer and the way that it spreads to become dominant have been discovered 🔬

A deeper understanding of lung cancer development could lead to earlier detection and possible prevention in the future

The stomach is an organ unique in its function, environment and exposures. How does this affect the mutations that normal cells in the stomach acquire? What does this reveal about the origins of stomach cancer? These questions and more in our @nature.com paper:
