Robust RNA-based in situ mutation detection delineates colorectal cancer subclonal evolution

Methods that analyze intra-tumor genetic heterogeneity often do not preserve the spatial context of tumor subclones. Here, the authors present BaseScope, a mutation-specific RNA in situ hybridization assay and spatially map colorectal cancer and adenoma KRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA driver gene mutant subcl...
