Hotspots are attractive because provide opportunities for biomedical research and novel treatments. Nevertheless, recent evidence, such as DNA hairpins for APOBEC3A, suggests that a considerable fraction of hotspots seem to be passengers rather than drivers. To document hotspots, the database HotSpotsAnnotations is proposed. For this, a statistical model was implemented to detect putative hotspots, which was applied to TCGA cancer datasets covering 33 cancer types, 10\u2009182 patients and 3\u2009175\u2009929 mutations. Then, genes and hotspots were annotated by two published methods (APOBEC3A hairpins and dN\/dS ratio) that may inform and warn researchers about possible false functional hotspots. Moreover, manual annotation from users can be added and shared. From the 23\u2009198 detected as possible hotspots, 4435 were selected after false discovery rate correction and minimum mutation count. From these, 305 were annotated as likely for APOBEC3A whereas 442 were annotated as unlikely. To date, this is the first database dedicated to annotating hotspots for possible false functional hotspots.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/database\/baaa025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,22]],"date-time":"2020-04-22T19:09:58Z","timestamp":1587582598000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["HotSpotAnnotations\u2014a database for hotspot mutations and annotations in cancer"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2020","author":[{"given":"Victor","family":"Trevino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnologico de Monterrey, Escuela de Medicina, C\u00e1tedra de Bioinform\u00e1tica, Morones Prieto No. 3000, Colonia Los Doctores, Monterrey, Nuevo Le\u00f3n 64710, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020050911574912400_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"646","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2011.02.013","article-title":"Hallmarks of cancer: the next generation","volume":"144","author":"Hanahan","year":"2011","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"2020050911574912400_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1108","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1145720","article-title":"The genomic landscapes of human breast and colorectal cancers","volume":"318","author":"Wood","year":"2007","journal-title":"Science (80-. )"},{"key":"2020050911574912400_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2617","DOI":"10.1158\/1078-0432.CCR-16-2810","article-title":"Mutational signatures in breast cancer: the problem at the DNA level","volume":"23","author":"Nik-Zainal","year":"2017","journal-title":"Clin.
