Transcription-coupled repair and mismatch repair contribute towards preserving genome integrity at mononucleotide repeat tracts
Indels that are commonly found in cancer genomes are characterized by non-random sequence composition and localisation. Here, the authors described a method to investigate transcriptional strand asymmetries and sequence-context specific mechanisms that alter the likelihood of insertions and deletion...
