Abstract excerpt
Many traits of cancer progression (e.g., development of metastases or resistance to therapy) are facilitated by tumour evolution: Darwinian selection of subclones with distinct genotypes or phenotypes that enable such progression. Characterising these subclones provide an opportunity to develop drugs to better target their specific properties but requires the accurate identification of somatic mutations shared...
