Hello, My name is Su and I am working on a Biology textbook by McGraw-Hill Higher Education, which we would like to include this somatic mutation image. If you are the copyright holder of this photo, would you be able to grant permission to use in the textbook? Print credit and compensation are offered for image use. Please let me know your thoughts. You can email me at su@photoaffairs.com. Thanks,

I just want to make sure, are you the copyright holder of this image? If so, would you be able to provide a high-resolution version of it?
