US Patent 11183269 Systems and methods for tumor clonality analysis

Systems and methods of genomic analysis are presented that provide a framework to determine a tumor's clonality, the number and proportion of all major clones, and the variants that distinguish them. Contemplated systems and methods also allow phasing mutations to parental alleles to so time their emergence within the population of tumor cells, and provide an accurate estimate of the amount of contaminating normal tissue that was present in the tumor biopsy.
