Comprehensive atlas of gene mutations in human tissue

Researchers have created the largest atlas of post-zygotic genome mutations in healthy human tissue ever assembled -- a scientific advancement that could unlock new avenues for diagnosing and treating genetic disease. Researchers generated the atlas using 54 tissue and cell types compiled after death from 948 individuals who donated their bodies for the National Institute of Health's Genotype-Tissue Expression Program.
