Mutational signatures associated with alterations emerging during in vitro or in vivo CRC propagation. Analysis of 30 validated cancer-associated mutational signatures in hypermutated/rapidly evolving CRC cell lines. Signatures associated to MMR-deficient (6, 15, 20, 26), POLE-dependent (10), and MUTYH-associated polyposis (18) are highlighted. Analysis and clustering were performed as reported in the “Methods” section. a Heatmap of signature contributions during replication of CRC cells in vitro by analyzing alterations acquired at T90. b Heatmap of signature contributions during replication of the CRC cells in vivo by comparing xenograft tumors to the corresponding cells at T0 (see the “Methods” section for detailed information)
