Tobacco Smoke Mutation Signatures Refined Through Sequencing Studies

Nov 03, 2016

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – The collection of mutation signatures present in tobacco smoke-related tumors appears to differ depending on whether they occur in tissues that are directly exposed to carcinogens in tobacco smoke, according to a new study published in Science.
