MutationalPatterns: comprehensive genome-wide analysis of mutational processes [PDF]
Background Base substitution catalogues represent historical records of mutational processes that have been active in a cell. Such processes can be distinguished by various characteristics, like mutation type, sequence context, transcriptional and ...

The topography of mutational processes in breast cancer genomes [PDF]
Mutational signatures provide evidence of the mechanism of action of a given mutagen and are found in cancer cells. Here, using 560 breast cancer genomes, the authors demonstrate that mutational signatures are frequently associated with genomic ...

Mutational processes shape the landscape of TP53 mutations in human cancer. [PDF]
Unlike most tumor suppressor genes, the most common genetic alterations in tumor protein p53 (TP53) are missense mutations1,2. Mutant p53 protein is often abundantly expressed in cancers and specific allelic variants exhibit dominant-negative or gain-of ...

Biochemical reconstitution of UV-induced mutational processes. [PDF]
We reconstituted two biochemical processes that may contribute to UV-induced mutagenesis in vitro and analysed the mutational profiles in the products.

Mutational processes of tobacco smoking and APOBEC activity generate protein-truncating mutations in cancer genomes. [PDF]
Mutational signatures represent a footprint of tumor evolution and its endogenous and exogenous mutational processes. However, their functional impact on the proteome remains incompletely understood.

Ovarian cancer mutational processes drive site-specific immune evasion. [PDF]
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is an archetypal cancer of genomic instability 1 – 4 patterned by distinct mutational processes 5 , 6 , tumour heterogeneity 7 – 9 and intraperitoneal spread 7 , 8 , 10 .

Analysis of 7,815 cancer exomes reveals associations between mutational processes and somatic driver mutations. [PDF]
Driver mutations are the genetic variants responsible for oncogenesis, but how specific somatic mutational events arise in cells remains poorly understood. Mutational signatures derive from the frequency of mutated trinucleotides in a given cancer sample,

Single-cell genomic variation induced by mutational processes in cancer. [PDF]
How cell-to-cell copy number alterations that underpin genomic instability1 in human cancers drive genomic and phenotypic variation, and consequently the evolution of cancer2, remains understudied.

Distinct mutational processes shape selection of MHC class I and class II mutations across primary and metastatic tumors. [PDF]
Disruption of antigen presentation via loss of MHC expression is a strategy whereby cancer cells escape immune surveillance and develop resistance to immunotherapy.
