Popis: Genetic changes acquired during in vitro culture pose a challenge to application of stem cells. Here the authors use whole genome sequencing to show that cultured human adult and pluripotent stem cells have a high mutational load caused by oxidative stress and reduced oxygen tension in culture lowers mutation rates.
