Title: Comprehensive genome-wide analysis of mutational processes
Description: Mutational processes leave characteristic footprints in
        genomic DNA. This package provides a comprehensive set of
        flexible functions that allows researchers to easily evaluate
        and visualize a multitude of mutational patterns in base
        substitution catalogues of e.g. healthy samples, tumour
        samples, or DNA-repair deficient cells. The package covers a
        wide range of patterns including: mutational signatures,
        transcriptional and replicative strand bias, lesion
        segregation, genomic distribution and association with genomic
        features, which are collectively meaningful for studying the
        activity of mutational processes. The package works with single
        nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions and deletions (Indels),
        double base substitutions (DBSs) and larger multi base
        substitutions (MBSs). The package provides functionalities for
        both extracting mutational signatures de novo and determining
        the contribution of previously identified mutational signatures
        on a single sample level. MutationalPatterns integrates with
        common R genomic analysis workflows and allows easy association
        with (publicly available) annotation data.
