I understand why people are downvoting, but identifying and explaining these misfires in somatic hypermutation is actually really novel and interesting work.

Somatic hypermutation and its role in common autoimmune diseases is something I desperately wish would make its way into popular knowledge. I think the name makes people think the concept is way more difficult than it really is.
