Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Clusters of localized hypermutation in human breast cancer genomes, named "kataegis" (from the Greek for thunderstorm), are hypothesized to result from multiple cytosine deaminations catalyzed by AID/APOBEC proteins. However, a direct link between APOBECs and kataegis is still lacking. We have sequenced the genomes of yeast mutants induced in diploids by expression of the gene for PmCDA1, a...
