Abstract excerpt
Cancer genomes harbor mutational and structural rearrangements that are jointly shaped by DNA damage and repair mechanisms. Accumulating evidence suggests that genetic alterations in DNA repair-defective tumors reflect the scars caused by the use of backup DNA repair mechanisms needed to maintain cellular viability. Detailed analysis of the patterns of mutations and structural rearrangements present in...
