Whole-genome sequencing of spermatocytic tumors provides insights into the mutational processes operating in the male germline.

Whole-genome sequencing of spermatocytic tumors provides insights into the mutational processes operating in the male germline.

Adult male germline stem cells (spermatogonia) proliferate by mitosis and, after puberty, generate spermatocytes that undertake meiosis to produce haploid spermatozoa. Germ cells are under evolutionary constraint to curtail mutations and maintain genome integrity. Despite constant turnover, spermato...
