Topography of mutational signatures in non-small cell lung cancer: emerging concepts, clinical applications, and limitations.

Abstract excerpt

The genome of a cell is continuously battered by a plethora of exogenous and endogenous processes that can lead to damaged DNA. Repair mechanisms correct this damage most of the time, but failure to do so leaves mutations. Mutations do not occur in random manner, but rather typically follow a more or less specific pattern due to known or imputed mutational processes. Mutational signature analysis is the process...
