Abstract excerpt
The wealth of routinely processed formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancer biopsies is potentially a tremendous resource for cancer genomics research. However, the presence of formalin-induced artifactual mutations in FFPE material can confound mutational analyses. Our de-noising algorithm, FFPEsig, removes FFPE-related artifactual mutations enabling the inference of biological mutational signatures. In...
