Predicting the constrained evolution of tumors (B07)

• Subject Area: Evolutionary Cell and Developmental Biology (Zoology)
• Term: from 2018 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 325931972

Project B7 will take a complementary modelling approach to tumor evolution, based on tissue-specific genomic and epigenetic factors influencing mutation rates. Combined with selection estimates from molecular network and pathway data, this project will predict the tissue-specific likelihood of mutations driving tumor evolution.
