Mutational spectra analysis reveals bacterial niche and transmission routes
2022-07-13
Abstract excerpt
As observed in cancers, individual mutagens and defects in DNA repair create distinctive mutational signatures that combine to form context-specific spectra within cells. We reasoned that similar processes must occur in bacterial lineages, potentially allowing decomposition analysis to identify disrupted DNA repair processes and niche-specific mutagen exposure. Here we reconstructed mutational spectra for 84 clade...
