Somatic mutations render human exome and pathogen DNA more similar

Immunotherapy has recently shown important clinical successes in a substantial number of oncology indications. Additionally, the tumor somatic mutation load has been shown to associate with response to these therapeutic agents, and specific mutational signatures are hypothesized to improve this asso...
