Inferring Tree Models for Oncogenesis from Comparative Genome Hybridization Data

Abstract excerpt

Comparative genome hybridization (CGH) is a laboratory method to measure gains and losses of chromosomal regions in tumor cells. It is believed that DNA gains and losses in tumor cells do not occur entirely at random, but partly through some flow of causality. Models that relate tumor progression to the occurrence of DNA gains and losses could be very useful in hunting cancer genes and in cancer diagnosis. We lay...
