Abstract excerpt
Cancer cells evolve from normal cells by somatic mutations and natural selection. Comparing the evolution of cancer cells and that of organisms can elucidate the genetic basis of cancer. Here we analyse somatic mutations in >400 cancer genomes. We find that the frequency of somatic single-nucleot...
