Abstract excerpt
Certain mutagens, including the APOBEC3 (A3) cytosine deaminase enzymes, can create multiple genetic changes in a single event. Activity of A3s results in striking 'mutation showers' occurring near DNA breakpoints; however, less is known about the mechanisms underlying the majority of A3 mutations. We classified the diverse patterns of clustered mutagenesis in tumor genomes, which identified a new A3 pattern:...
