Base-excision repair pathway shapes 5-methylcytosine deamination signatures in pan-cancer genomes

Abstract Transition of cytosine to thymine in CpG dinucleotides is the most frequent type of mutation in cancer. This increased mutability is commonly attributed to the spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), which is normally repaired by the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. However, t...
