The mutational signatures of formalin fixation on the human genome
Many archived tumour samples are stored as formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks, but this treatment can impact downstream genomics analyses. Here, the authors derive the mutational signatures of formalin on the cancer genome, and present FFPEsig, an algorithm that can distinguish and c...
