Direct measurement of the male germline mutation rate in individuals using sequential sperm samples

Abstract Mutations that accumulate in the human male germline with age are a major driver of genetic diversity and contribute to genetic diseases. However, aging-related male germline mutation rates have not been measured directly in germline cells (sperm) at the level of individuals. We developed a...
