Abstract excerpt
According to the clonal evolution model, tumour growth is driven by competing subclones in somatically evolving cancer cell populations, which gives rise to genetically heterogeneous tumours. Here we present a comparative targeted deep-sequencing approach combined with a customised statistical algorithm, called deepSNV, for detecting and quantifying subclonal single-nucleotide variants in mixed populations. We...
