title: [Use of a rank correlation coefficient for comparing mutational spectra].
abstract: It is suggest to use the Kendall's rank correlation coefficient tau for the analysis of correlation between mutation spectra. The results of computer simulations and analysis of real spectra showed that the approach can be recommended for the analysis of mutation spectra.
