Abstract
The molecular characterisation of germ cell tumours (GCT) is necessary to understand their development and histological diversification. Here, the authors use whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing of GCTs across distinct histologies to reveal their somatic evolution and clonal diversification, as well as identify several putative biomarkers for treatment stratification.
