Evidence of a cancer type-specific distribution for consecutive somatic mutation distances.

Abstract excerpt

Specific molecular mechanisms may affect the pattern of mutation in particular regions, and therefore leaving a footprint or signature in the DNA of their activity. The common approach to identify these signatures is studying the frequency of substitutions. However, such an analysis ignores the important spatial information, which is important with regards to the mutation occurrence statistics. In this work, we...
