For each motif, the preferred target sites are in bold. In the motifs defined, W = A/T, R  =  A/G, and Y = T/C. MC1, MC2, and MC3 refer to the position of the mutations within the mutated codon (MC), read 5‐prime (5′) to 3‐prime (3′). The Chi square level of statistical significance for deviation from the expected distribution of mutations in a 3 × 3 TSM table by type of mutation (×3) and location within the MC (×3) for each motif is shown in the right hand column (< 0.001, 8 df). The mutation data used to produce Table 1 are shown in the Table S2.). AID, activation‐induced cytidine deaminase; ADAR, adenosine deaminase; MC, mutated codon.
