Abstract excerpt
Cells constantly accumulate mutations, which are caused by replication errors, as well as through the action of endogenous and exogenous DNA-damaging agents. Mutational patterns reflect the status of DNA repair machinery and the history of genotoxin exposure of a given cellular clone. Computationally derived mutational signatures can shed light on the origins of cancer. However, to understand the etiology of...
