Abstract excerpt
Cancer genomes accumulate a large number of somatic mutations resulting from a combination of stochastic errors in DNA processing, cancer-related aberrations of the DNA repair machinery, or carcinogenic exposures; each mutagenic process leaves a characteristic mutational signature. A key challenge is understanding the interactions between signatures, particularly as DNA repair deficiencies often modify the...
