conduct computational meta - analyses on large, aggregated cancer genome data sets to identify the long tail of infrequently mutated cancer genes, to characterise mutational signatures and to inform on the evolution of
cancer cell clones.

clones (2 — 4), prostate
cancer cell holoclones consisted of tightly packed, small
cells and paraclones of larger and fewer
cells, whereas the meroclones were made of
cells of intermediate sizes and numbers (Supplementary Fig.
