Cord blood sequecing

This is used to validate our methodology, we sequenced a cord blood sample with few somatic mutations (40-50 somatic substitutions per cell) from a 9-month-old female donor giving an expected number of somatic mutations in our 30x data of 675. Given the low mutation burden of this sample, most of the mismatches between the sample and the reference genome (524,575 observed) is a result of either library or sequencing errors, and not somatic mutations, indicating that the majority of these occurrences are likely attributed to erroneous base calls.
