Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and, despite new targeted therapies and
immunotherapies, many patients with advanced-stage- or high-risk cancers still die, owing to …

A practical guide to cancer subclonal reconstruction from DNA sequencing

…, M Ni Leathlobhair, J Wintersinger, DC Wedge… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Subclonal reconstruction from bulk tumor DNA sequencing has become a pillar of cancer

Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer

LB Alexandrov, S Nik-Zainal, DC Wedge… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
All cancers are caused by somatic mutations; however, understanding of the biological
processes generating these mutations is limited. The catalogue of somatic mutations from a …

Principles of reconstructing the subclonal architecture of cancers

SC Dentro, DC Wedge… - Cold Spring …, 2017 - perspectivesinmedicine.cshlp.org
Most cancers evolve from a single founder cell through a series of clonal expansions that
are driven by somatic mutations. These clonal expansions can lead to several coexisting …

Landscape of somatic mutations in 560 breast cancer whole-genome sequences

The landscape of cancer genes and mutational processes in breast cancer

…, H Davies, P Van Loo, C Greenman, DC Wedge… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
All cancers carry somatic mutations in their genomes. A subset, known as driver mutations,
confer clonal selective advantage on cancer cells and are causally implicated in oncogenesis …
