Wu, Hsieh et al. analyze Taiwanese breast cancer patient samples using whole-exome sequencing to examine the heterogeneity and homogeneity in the timing and dependencies of somatic aberrations across disease subtypes. The authors focus on somatic alterations and related features that correlate with whole genome doubling, including homologous recombination deficiencies.
