A statistical test on single-cell data reveals widespread recurrent mutations in tumor evolution
2016-12-16
Abstract excerpt
The infinite sites assumption, which states that every genomic position mutates at most once over the lifetime of a tumor, is central to current approaches for reconstructing mutation histories of tumors, but has never been tested explicitly. We developed a rigorous statistical framework to test the assumption with single-cell sequencing data. The framework accounts for the high noise and contamination present in...
