Identification of neutral tumor evolution across cancer types

MJ Williams, B Werner, CP Barnes, TA Graham… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Despite extraordinary efforts to profile cancer genomes, interpreting the vast amount of
genomic data in the light of cancer evolution remains challenging. Here we demonstrate that …

Quantification of subclonal selection in cancer from bulk sequencing data

MJ Williams, B Werner, T Heide, C Curtis, CP Barnes… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Subclonal architectures are prevalent across cancer types. However, the temporal evolutionary
dynamics that produce tumor subclones remain unknown. Here we measure clone …

Clonal fitness inferred from time-series modelling of single-cell cancer genomes

…, MJ Williams, KR Campbell, T Masud, B Wang, J Biele… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Progress in defining genomic fitness landscapes in cancer, especially those defined by copy
number alterations (CNAs), has been impeded by lack of time-series single-cell sampling of …

Evolutionary dynamics of neoantigens in growing tumors

…, MJ Williams, RO Schenck, WCH Cross, J Househam… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Cancers accumulate mutations that lead to neoantigens, novel peptides that elicit an
immune response, and consequently undergo evolutionary selection. Here we establish how …

[HTML][HTML] Ovarian cancer mutational processes drive site-specific immune evasion

…, M Pourmaleki, N Rusk, H Shi, R Vanguri, MJ Williams… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is an archetypal cancer of genomic instability 1
, 2 , 3 – 4 patterned by distinct mutational processes 5 , 6 , tumour heterogeneity 7 , 8 – 9 …

[HTML][HTML] Single-cell genomic variation induced by mutational processes in cancer

T Funnell, CH O'Flanagan, MJ Williams, A McPherson… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
How cell-to-cell copy number alterations that underpin genomic instability 1 in human
cancers drive genomic and phenotypic variation, and consequently the evolution of cancer 2 , …

Subclonal reconstruction of tumors by using machine learning and population genetics

G Caravagna, T Heide, MJ Williams, L Zapata… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Most cancer genomic data are generated from bulk samples composed of mixtures of
cancer subpopulations, as well as normal cells. Subclonal reconstruction methods based on …

Evolutionary history of human colitis-associated colorectal cancer

…, D Temko, S Biswas, P Martinez, MJ Williams… - Gut, 2019 - gut.bmj.com
Objective IBD confers an increased lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), and
colitis-associated CRC (CA-CRC) is molecularly distinct from sporadic CRC (S-CRC). Here …

Measuring clonal evolution in cancer with genomics

MJ Williams, A Sottoriva… - Annual review of genomics …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Spatially constrained tumour growth affects the patterns of clonal selection and neutral drift in cancer genomic data

…, T Heide, B Werner, MJ Williams… - PLoS computational …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Quantification of the effect of spatial tumour sampling on the patterns of mutations detected
in next-generation sequencing data is largely lacking. Here we use a spatial stochastic …
