Understanding the effects of environmental exposures on germline mutation rates has been a decades-long pursuit in genetics. We used next-generation sequencing and comparative genomic hybridization arrays to investigate genome-wide mutations in the offspring of male mice exposed to benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a common environmental pollutant. We demonstrate that offspring developing from sperm exposed during the mitotic or post-mitotic phases of spermatogenesis have significantly more de novo single n ...[more]
