Abstract excerpt
UV exposure causes not only cytosine-to-thymine (C > T) substitutions in dipyrimidine sequences but also many non-canonical mutation classes (e.g. A > T, T > C, and AC > TT). While C > T substitutions are thought to arise from mutagenic bypass of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), the photoproduct(s) that cause non-canonical mutation classes, which are responsible for key driver mutations in melanoma, are...
