Resolving genetic heterogeneity in cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-01)
To a large extent, cancer conforms to evolutionary rules defined by the rates at which clones mutate, adapt and grow. Next-generation sequencing has provided a snapshot of the genetic landscape of most cancer types, and ...
The MOBSTER R package for tumour subclonal deconvolution from bulk DNA whole-genome sequencing data.
(BMC, 2020-11-17)
BACKGROUND: The large-scale availability of whole-genome sequencing profiles from bulk DNA sequencing of cancer tissues is fueling the application of evolutionary theory to cancer. From a bulk biopsy, subclonal deconvolution ...
Identification of neutral tumor evolution across cancer types.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-03-01)
Despite extraordinary efforts to profile cancer genomes, interpreting the vast amount of genomic data in the light of cancer evolution remains challenging. Here we demonstrate that neutral tumor evolution results in a ...
Between-region genetic divergence reflects the mode and tempo of tumor evolution.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06-05)
Given the implications of tumor dynamics for precision medicine, there is a need to systematically characterize the mode of evolution across diverse solid tumor types. In particular, methods to infer the role of natural ...
