It is unclear if the molecular profiles of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) preclinical models remain stable during propagation. Here, the authors characterise clonal evolution throughout propagation in PDAC cell lines and a patient-derived organoid using single-cell genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics.
