Blood stem cells from healthy people carry major chromosomal alterations, suggesting we are all genetic mosaics, according to a new study from EMBL and the Max Delbrück Center. Researchers at EMBL and the MDC-BIMSB found that approximately one in 40 human bone marrow cells carry massive chromosomal alterations without causing any apparent disease or abnormality. Even so-called normal cells carry all sorts of genetic mutations, meaning there are more genetic differences between individual cells...
