Reconstructing complex cancer evolutionary histories from multiple bulk DNA samples using Pairtree
2020-11-08
Abstract excerpt
Cancers are composed of genetically distinct subpopulations of malignant cells. By sequencing DNA from cancer tissue samples, we can characterize the somatic mutations specific to each population and build clone trees describing the evolutionary ancestry of populations relative to one another. These trees reveal critical points in disease development and inform treatment. Pairtree constructs clone trees using DNA...
