Somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes drives the production of protective antibodies. But how does the mutation machinery know where to hit? Research team lead by Jukka Alinikula at the University of Turku.

I'm excited to share that our research project has been funded by RCF! 🧬 This support allows us to dive deeper into how somatic hypermutation enhancers shape genome dynamics and contribute to oncogenesis. Huge thanks to RCF and everyone who’s supported this journey so far.
