CloneSig can jointly infer intra-tumor heterogeneity and mutational signature activity in bulk tumor sequencing data

Abstract

Intratumour heterogeneity (ITH) and mutational signatures are typically analysed separately, even though they are not necessarily independent. Here, the authors present CloneSig, a tool for the joint estimation of ITH and mutational signatures, with which they analyse the TCGA and PCAWG datasets.
