A pooled mutational analysis identifies ionizing radiation-associated mutational signatures conserved between mouse and human malignancies

Abstract Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) identified in cancer genomes can be de-convolved using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) into discrete trinucleotide-based mutational signatures indicative of specific cancer-causing processes. The stability of NMF-generated mutational signatures depe...
