Phylogenetic inference reveals clonal heterogeneity in circulating tumor cell clusters
1 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters are highly efficient metastatic seeds in various cancers. Yet, their genetic heterogeneity and clonal architecture is poorly characterized. Using whole-exome sequencing coupled with phylogenetic inference from CTC clusters of patients with breast and prostate cancer, as well as mouse cancer models alongside barcode-mediated clonal tracking in vivo, we demonstrate oligoclonal...
