Mutations in the HPV16 genome induced by APOBEC3 are associated with viral clearance

The APOBEC mutational signature is prevalent in different tumour types. Here, using HPV16- positive cervical samples, the authors show that the signature is more prevalent in the viral genome of benign or clearing HPV16 infections compared to the viral genomes of the more advanced precancerous lesio...
