Pervasive lesion segregation shapes cancer genome evolution
2019-12-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Cancers arise through the acquisition of oncogenic mutations and grow through clonal expansion 1, 2 . Here we reveal that most mutagenic DNA lesions are not resolved as mutations within a single cell-cycle. Instead, DNA lesions segregate unrepaired into daughter cells for multiple cell generations, resulting in the chromosome-scale phasing of subsequent mutations. We characterise this process in...
