MutationalPatterns: the one stop shop for the analysis of mutational processes

Abstract

This novel version of MutationalPatterns allows for more comprehensive analyses and visualization of mutational patterns in order to study the underlying processes. Ultimately, in-depth mutational analyses may contribute to improved biological insights in mechanisms of mutation accumulation as well as aid cancer diagnostics. MutationalPatterns is freely available at http://bioconductor.org/packages/MutationalPatterns .
