ETS transcription factors induce a unique UV damage signature that drives recurrent mutagenesis in melanoma

Many factors contribute to mutation hotspots in cancer cells. Here the authors map UV damage at single-nucleotide resolution across the human genome and find that binding sites of ETS transcription factors are especially prone to forming UV lesions, leading to mutation hotspots in melanoma.
