Reconstructing single-cell karyotype alterations in colorectal cancer identifies punctuated and gradual diversification patterns.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-08-01)
Central to tumor evolution is the generation of genetic diversity. However, the extent and patterns by which de novo karyotype alterations emerge and propagate within human tumors are not well understood, especially at ...
A Big Bang model of human colorectal tumor growth.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-03-01)
What happens in early, still undetectable human malignancies is unknown because direct observations are impractical. Here we present and validate a 'Big Bang' model, whereby tumors grow predominantly as a single expansion ...
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 ...
The evolutionary landscape of colorectal tumorigenesis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-10-01)
The evolutionary events that cause colorectal adenomas (benign) to progress to carcinomas (malignant) remain largely undetermined. Using multi-region genome and exome sequencing of 24 benign and malignant colorectal tumours, ...
