Abstract excerpt
Non-enzymatic spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine, producing thymine, is the proposed etiology of cancer mutational signature 1, which is the most predominant signature in all cancers. Here, the proposed mutational process was reconstituted using synthetic DNA and purified proteins. First, single-stranded DNA containing 5-methylcytosine at CpG context was incubated at an elevated temperature to accelerate...
