Whole genome sequencing of T-47D cell colonies overexpressed with APOBEC3B and hUGI

Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (APOBEC3B, A3B) is a key molecular driver inducing mutations in multiple human cancer. A3B belongs to the APOBEC3 enzyme family, which consists seven closely related DNA deaminases that catalyse cytosine-to-uracil (C>U) editing of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Here, we used a lentiviral inducible system to overexpress A3B and hUGI in T-47D cells. This system will allow augmented genomic editing by A3B, while preserving the C>U editing sites from DNA repair by inhibiting base excision repair mechanism. T-47D cell colonies were separated after induced with wild-type or inactive mutant A3B expression for 120 hours, which were subjected to whole genome sequencing and mutation calling.
