Abstract excerpt
Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) is a biomarker of tumor progression, metastasis, and immune evasion. Previous studies evaluated ITH mostly based on DNA alterations. Here, we developed a new algorithm (DEPTH) for quantifying ITH based on mRNA alterations in the tumor. DEPTH scores displayed significant correlations with ITH-associated features (genomic instability, tumor advancement, unfavorable prognosis,...
