Interesting paper, relating de novo mutation rate to epigenetic features. Wonder exactly how this connects to the fact that the background mutation rate in cancer genomes depends strongly on epigenetics.

Life’s Preference for Symmetry Is Like ‘A New Law of Nature’ – The New York Times
April 14, 2022Interesting paper. Nevertheless, natural designs are still less symmetric than engineered ones. (I think!) Any thoughts on why?
