Deep learning model of somatic hypermutation reveals importance of sequence context beyond targeting of AID and Polη hotspots
2021-08-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> B-cells undergo somatic hypermutation (SHM) of the Immunoglobulin (Ig) variable region to generate high-affinity antibodies. SHM relies on the activity of activation-induced deaminase (AID), which mutates C>U preferentially targeting WR C (W=A/T, R=A/G) hotspots. Downstream mutations at W A Polymerase η hotspots contribute further mutations. Computational models of SHM can describe the probabil...
