Abstract excerpt
DNA damage is preferentially repaired in expressed genes; thus, genome-wide correlations between somatic mutation patterns and normal cell transcription may reflect tumor cell origins. Accordingly, we found that aggregate lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cancer (LUSC) somatic mutation density associated most strongly with distal (alveolar) and proximal (basal) lung cell-type-specific gene expression,...
