Abstract excerpt
The human genome encodes eleven DNA cytidine deaminases in the AID/APOBEC family, which encompass endogenous roles ranging from genetic diversification of the immunoglobulin locus to virus restriction. All AID/APOBEC functions are enabled by their catalyzation of cytidine deamination resulting in mutations and DNA damage. When acting aberrantly, deaminases can cause off-target mutations in the cellular genome...
