DNA deaminases induce break-associated mutation showers with implication of APOBEC3B and 3A in breast cancer kataegis

Breast cancer genomes have revealed a novel form of mutation showers (kataegis) in which multiple same-strand substitutions at C:G pairs spaced one to several hundred nucleotides apart are clustered over kilobase-sized regions, often associated with sites of DNA rearrangement. We show kataegis can r...
