Welcome to the SMaHT Network!

The Somatic Mosaicism Across Human Tissues (SMaHT) is a new initiative sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, Office of Strategic Coordination - The Common Fund. This initiative will investigate somatic variations: DNA changes that occur as our bodies develop, grow, and age, and how these changes impact health and disease. For the first time, scientists will create a large-scale, systematic catalog of somatic variation, providing an invaluable resource for the broader scientific community.
