Identifying the genetic drivers of clonal haematopoiesis (CH) has been challenging due to their low frequencies and a lack of adequate tools. Here, the authors use a reverse calling to detect blood somatic mutations and the IntOGen pipeline to identify CH drivers in large cancer genomics data sets based on signals of positive selection.
