Abstract excerpt
Understanding intratumor heterogeneity is critical for studying tumorigenesis and designing personalized treatments. To decompose the mixed cell population in a tumor, subclones are inferred computationally based on variant allele frequency (VAF) from bulk sequencing data. In this study, we showed that sequencing depth, mean VAF, and variance of VAF of a subclone are confounded. Without considering this effect,...
