Deficiency of replication-independent DNA mismatch repair drives a 5-methylcytosine deamination mutational signature in cancer
Multiple mutational signatures have been associated with DNA mismatch repair (MMR)–deficient cancers, but the mechanisms underlying their origin remain unclear. Here, using mutation data from cancer genomes, we identify a previously unknown function of MMR that is able to protect genomes from 5-meth...
