The mutation spectrum revealed by paired genome sequences from a lung cancer patient
2010
Complete genome sequencing has already provided insights into the mutation spectra of several cancer types. Here, the first complete sequences are provided of a primary lung tumour and adjacent normal tissue. Comparison of the two reveals a variety of somatic mutations in the cancer genome, including changes in the KRAS proto-oncogene. The results reveal a distinct pattern of selection against mutations within expressed genes compared to non-expressed genes, and selection against mutations in promoter regions.
