Stratton: APOBEC may be directed by dsDNA breaks; tested and shown in yeast. #ESHG14

9:15am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Kataegis always has TpCpN trinucleotides; hyperediting restricted to small area. APOBEC responsible (in yeast) #ESHG14

9:15am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Never see kataegis in the same place twice; all unique #ESHG14

9:13am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Localized hypermut: kataegis. Rainfall plot: 2012 Cell pub http://t.co/Fj5p1w4FXa Mutations <100bp spacing, Chr6 #ESHG14

9:13am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Illustrates: 4 signatures of mismatch repair; defective BRCA1/2 homologous recombination repair; others and 'unknown'. #ESHG14

9:11am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: APOBEC3A/3B can have a 30kb deletion forming a chimeric protein; increases risk of hypermut of Sig 2; inc risk for br ca #ESHG14

9:09am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Switching on of APOBEC - is it amplification, overexpression, or response to a virus or retrotransposon? #ESHG14

9:05am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: AID cntral role in class switch recombination at Ig loci. APOBEC3A-H mutate HIV, HBV for defense #ESHG14

9:04am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: AID/APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases DNA editing machinery at an abasic site. C-T or C-G (like in Sig 2) #ESHG14

9:03am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Sig 2 has about 12 mut/MB in 10% of breast cancers; C-T and C-G mutations, specific contexts. TpCpA etc. #ESHG14

9:01am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: From these processes - the desire to understand mechanism. Now onto signature 2, 50% of the cancer types. #ESHG14

9:00am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Some signatures observed in almost every cancer type, others 50%, others only one. #ESHG14

8:58am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Great diversity of patterns, some combinations that are somewhat similar. Across 30 types of cancers shown #ESHG14

8:57am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Showing 26 (now 30) mutational signature. "More than we expected, more causes than we know of." #ESHG14

8:56am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Of 7,042 samples of 30 cancer types; 4.9M mutations, now look cross the landscape #ESHG14

8:54am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: 6 types of C-T base substitutions (due to adjacent bases); move out from 6 to 96 due to 2 adjacent bases. #ESHG14

8:54am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: A different math problem due to many unknowns. A blind source separation problem. 1999 Nature pub http://t.co/gK4cZxhQzW #ESHG14

8:52am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: The challenge is all three types are mixed together in the 'final cancer genome'. (Nicely laid out.) #ESHG14

8:51am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton:From 1 fertilized egg to cancer cell: 3 models - constant, a burst in the middle, or steady later on through the end #ESHG14

8:50am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Since 1980's, looking at TP53; of 686 skin cancers, 60% C->T mutations due to UV. Of 167 lung ca: C->A majority #ESHG14

8:47am June 3rd 2014 via Hootsuite

Stratton: Sources of mutatation: pollutants; mistakes in cell division; UV, cigarette smoke, aflatoxin, auto-repair mechanism damage #ESHG14
