Abstract excerpt
The history and current development of the reverse transcriptase model of somatic hypermutation (RT-model) is reviewed with particular reference to the genesis of strand-biased mutation signatures in rearranged immunoglobulin variable genes (V(D)J). The recent disagreement in the field as to whether strand bias really exists or not has been critically analysed and the confusion traced to the putative presence, in...
