PurBayes: estimating tumor cellularity and subclonality in next-generation sequencing data
SUMMARY We have developed a novel Bayesian method, PurBayes, to estimate tumor purity and detect intratumor heterogeneity based on next-generation sequencing data of paired tumor-normal tissue samples, which uses finite mixture modeling methods. We demonstrate our approach using simulated data and discuss its performance under varying conditions. AVAILABILITY PurBayes is implemented as an R p...
متن کاملInferring tumor evolution using computational phylogenetics
Cancer research has made tremendous progress in understanding the basic biology of tumors. One of the key insights that has informed work in this area is the recognition that a tumor is an evolutionary system, in which individual cells undergo a process of rapid mutation and selection leading to a progression in phenotypes and, typically, aggressiveness of the tumor. Tumor phylogenetics is a st...
متن کاملInferring clonal composition from multiple tumor biopsies
Motivation. Knowledge about the clonal evolution of each tumor can inform driver-alteration discovery by pointing out initiating genetic events as well as events that contribute to the selective advantage of proliferative, and potentially drug-resistant tumor subclones. A necessary building block to the reconstruction of clonal evolution from tumor profiles is the estimation of the cellular com...
متن کاملInferring tumor progression from genomic heterogeneity.
Cancer progression in humans is difficult to infer because we do not routinely sample patients at multiple stages of their disease. However, heterogeneous breast tumors provide a unique opportunity to study human tumor progression because they still contain evidence of early and intermediate subpopulations in the form of the phylogenetic relationships. We have developed a method we call Sector-...
متن کاملInferring a tumor progression model for neuroblastoma from genomic data.
PURPOSE The knowledge of the key genomic events that are causal to cancer development and progression not only is invaluable for our understanding of cancer biology but also may have a direct clinical impact. The task of deciphering a model of tumor progression by requiring that it explains (or at least does not contradict) known clinical and molecular evidence can be very demanding, particular...
