Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as transcription start sites – your genome is especially vulnerable to damage and the occasional imperfect repair that can lead to permanent changes. Scientists call these locations 'mutation hotspots', and they may be crucial for understanding genetic disease . "These sequences are extremely prone to
