Mutational signatures based on single base substitutions are defined using the mutated base and its two neighboring bases. The total number of different “neighborhoods” (nucleotide contexts) to which each individual SBS can be attributed is 96 (6 different possible substitutions times four possible 5′ neighbors times four possible 3′ neighbors).
