Reactions to the finding of new combinations of mutations, 'mutational signatures', associated with specific cancers

Whole genome analysis of more than 12,000 tumors has identified new patterns of mutations associated with specific cancers. These combinations generate specific mutational signatures, the study of which provides information on environmental factors causing the mutations. The work is published in Science.
