Variation of genetic mutations in healthy individuals. The visualization summarizes the number, density, and estimated sizes of mutant clones (each shown as a circle) as well as the genes affected (shown as different colors). Each square represents 1 cm2 of oesophageal tissue. Image: Courtesy of I. Martincorena
