Measuring Clonal Evolution in Cancer with Genomics.
(2019-08-31)Cancers originate from somatic cells in the human body that have accumulated genetic alterations. These mutations modify the phenotype of the cells, allowing them to escape the homeostatic regulation that maintains normal ... -
Measuring the distribution of fitness effects in somatic evolution by combining clonal dynamics with dN/dS ratios.
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2020-03-30)The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) defines how new mutations spread through an evolving population. The ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous mutations (dN/dS) has become a popular method to detect selection in ...
