Mutational heterogeneity in cancer and the search for new
cancer-associated genes

Mutational heterogeneity in #cancer: #Mutation rate correlated with replication timing & transcription

QT:”
We apply MutSigCV to exome sequences from 3,083 tumour–normal pairs and discover extraordinary variation in mutation frequency and spectrum within cancer types, which sheds light on mutational processes and disease aetiology, and in mutation frequency across the genome, which is strongly correlated with DNA replication timing and also with transcriptional activity.
