Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Analysis of somatic mutations provides insight into the mutational processes that have shaped the cancer genome, but such analysis currently requires large cohorts. We develop deconstructSigs, which allows the identification of mutational signatures within a single tumor sample. RESULTS: Application of deconstructSigs identifies samples with DNA repair deficiencies and reveals distinct and dynamic...
