At the inaugural International Conference on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS) in Boston last week, researchers outlined plans from eight studies in the US, the UK, Europe, and Australia.
Single-Cell Sequencing Study Finds Increased Single-Nucleotide Mutation Rate in Lungs of Smokers
This mutation rate increased linearly until 23 pack-years of exposure before plateauing, suggesting there may be mechanisms limiting mutation accumulation.
The technique, called single-molecule mutation sequencing (SMM-seq), uses rolling circle amplification to increase the number of copies of parental strands used for sequencing.
