Extended Data Fig. 8. Comparison of WES (72X) and high-coverage WES (hcWES, 271X) of fibroblasts.

Extended Data Fig. 8

More mutations in hiPSCs were discovered in fibroblasts (shared mutations) through high-coverage Whole Exome Sequencing (hcWES) than through WES, resulting in the percentage of shared mutations increased in hcWES data. Interestingly, the mutational profile of these increased shared mutations is very similar to the UV signature, indicating that increasing sequencing depth enables more UV-caused somatic mutations that were found in hiPSCs to also be detected in the corresponding fibroblasts.
