Caption

Collage: Mutational signatures of cigarette smoking (blue, black, and red bars, top) and aristolochic acid (AA), a carcinogen in some herbal medicine (grey bars, bottom). The circles in the middle provide a partial view of which cancer types have which signatures - each column is a cancer type; each row is a signature.
