Ploidy-Seq: inferring mutational chronology by sequencing polyploid tumor subpopulations

Human cancers are frequently polyploid, containing multiple aneuploid subpopulations that differ in total DNA content. In this study we exploit this property to reconstruct evolutionary histories, by assuming that mutational complexity increases with time. We developed an experimental method called...
