Abstract excerpt
Exposure to environmental mutagens increases cancer risk, yet exposure-detection methods often lack standardization and sensitivity. Genotoxic agents leave characteristic 'mutational signatures' in DNA, creating permanent, quantitative records of past exposures. Analyses of these signatures have clarified the mutational impacts of many established carcinogens and implicated contributions of previously...
