In this episode, Luke Anderson-Trocmé

talks about his findings from the 1000 Genomes Project. Namely, the early

sequenced genomes sometimes contain specific mutational signatures that

haven’t been replicated from other sources and can be found via their

association with lower base quality scores. Listen to Luke telling the story

of how he stumbled upon and investigated these fake variants and what their

impact is.
