DR DONATE WEGHORN is group leader at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona, Spain, studying mutational processes in human populations. In November 2025, Donate published research on a ‘mutational hotspot’ that her team identified within the human genome – an explosively dangerous area affecting brain function … as well as the onset of cancer. #dna #mutation #genetics 0:00 START 02:09 Donate's background 04:29 Monitoring mutations 10:11 Mutational hotspots 20:02 Genes most affected 22:42 Hotspots and health 25:18 Genetic studies impact 29:56 Upcoming projects 33:21 Special Thanks To LINKS FOR DONATE WEGHORN Weghorn Lab BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/weghornlab.b...
