Biology Wise: Guide to Understanding Somatic Mutation

Curated by ACT

Somatic cells are any cells that are not involved in reproduction and thus cannot be passed on to offspring. This resource discusses mutations in somatic cells, how they occur, how they are detected, and the diseases they can cause in humans. Also discussed are somatic mutations in dogs, horses, and antibody production, and their role in cancer.
