Altogether our findings highlight the context dependent role of APOBEC3B in lung tumor evolution, and identify APOBEC3 family members as targets to restrict the emergence of resistance and thereby improve responses to targeted cancer therapy. 15/15

New preprint from the lab! We find that APOBEC3B targets DNA hairpins, but are different from those recognized by APOBEC3A. Importantly, we show APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B can generate distinct mutations in tumors, driven by their unique substrate selectivity.
