Figure 2: Validated mutational signatures found in human cancer.

Each signature is displayed according to the 96 substitution classification defined by the substitution class and sequence context immediately 3′ and 5′ to the mutated base. The probability bars for the six types of substitutions are displayed in different colours. The mutation types are on the horizontal axes, whereas vertical axes depict the percentage of mutations attributed to a specific mutation type. All mutational signatures are displayed on the basis of the trinucleotide frequency of the human genome. A higher resolution of each panel is found respectively in Supplementary Figs 2–23. Asterisk indicates mutation type exceeding 20%.
