Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a complex disease and its underlying epigenomic heterogeneity is not fully understood. Here, the authors utilize patient-derived PDAC xenografts to define the epigenomic landscape of PDAC, highlighting chromatin states linked to differing disease aggressiveness and survival.
