Measuring the distribution of fitness effects in somatic evolution by combining clonal dynamics with dN/dS ratios

The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) defines how new mutations spread through an evolving population. The ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous mutations (dN/dS) has become a popular method to detect selection in somatic cells. However the link, in somatic evolution, between dN/dS values and fi...
