The environmental carcinogen urethane exhibits a profound specificity for pulmonary tumors driven by an oncogenic Q<sub>61</sub>L/R mutation in the gene Kras. Similarly, the frequency, isoform, position, and substitution of oncogenic RAS mutations are often unique to human cancers. To elucidate the principles underlying this RAS mutation tropism of urethane, we adapted an error-corrected, high-throughput sequencing approach to detect mutations in murine Ras genes at great sensitivity. This analy ...[more]
