Reconstructing clonal tree for phylo-phenotypic characterization of cancer using single-cell transcriptomics

Abstract

The functional changes of individual clones in single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data remain elusive. Here, the authors develop PhylEx that integrates bulk genomics data with co-occurrences of mutations revealed by scRNA-seq data and apply it to high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell line and breast cancer datasets.
