Mutational History of a Human Cell Lineage from Somatic to Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.

The accuracy of replicating the genetic code is fundamental. DNA repair mechanisms protect the fidelity of the genome ensuring a low error rate between generations. This sustains the similarity of individuals whilst providing a repertoire of variants for evolution. The mutation rate in the human gen...
