Somatic evolution following cancer treatment in normal tissue

Nature, Published online: 10 December 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-09792-4

High-depth sequencing of non-cancerous tissue from patients with metastatic cancer reveals single-base mutational signatures of alcohol, smoking and cancer treatments, and reveals how exogenous factors, including cancer therapies, affect somatic cell evolution.

Clone copy number diversity is linked to survival in lung cancer

Nature, Published online: 13 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-09398-w

A study presents ALPACA, a computational method for inferring clone- and allele-specific copy numbers of individual clones from multi-sample bulk DNA-sequencing data, and demonstrates its use to study metastasis trajectories.

Genomic–transcriptomic evolution in lung cancer and metastasis

Nature, Published online: 12 April 2023; doi:10.1038/s41586-023-05706-4

Computational and machine-learning approaches that integrate genomic and transcriptomic variation from paired primary and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer samples from the TRACERx cohort reveal the role of transcriptional events in tumour evolution.
