This study uses Strand-seq to explore the landscape of mosaic structural variants (mSVs) in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from people of different ages. The analysis highlights patterns of enrichment for mSVs in specific cell types, with associated phenotypes, and suggests that clonal expansions due to mSVs are generally restricted to older individuals.
