Extended Data Fig. 4: Proportion of SBS mutations attributed to each mutational signature.

Extended Data Fig. 4

Signatures were selected using the ‘ColoRect-AdenoCa’ samples from the SigProfiler TCGA whole exome cohort (n = 496) (syn11801497.7). All signatures in the cohort with a non-zero mutation attribution were considered along with all MMR-deficiency signatures and platinum treatment signatures. Plots show the cohort wide signature attribution among (a) all 21 Prospect-C samples and (b) only in the PD tumors of the 12 patients with prolonged benefit. The red horizontal dashed line illustrates the 3% threshold used to define signatures as ‘active’ and the red box shows the signatures retained for subsequent analysis. SBS17a and SBS17b are described as ‘connected’ signatures15. SBS17a was retained due to the inclusion of SBS17b despite not reaching the threshold.
