Evolution and genomic signatures of spontaneous somatic mutation in Drosophila intestinal stem cells.

Abstract excerpt

Spontaneous mutations can alter tissue dynamics and lead to cancer initiation. Although large-scale sequencing projects have illuminated processes that influence somatic mutation and subsequent tumor evolution, the mutational dynamics operating in the very early stages of cancer development are currently not well understood. To explore mutational processes in the early stages of cancer evolution, we exploited...
