An in vitro model of tumor heterogeneity resolves genetic, epigenetic, and stochastic sources of cell state variability.

Tumor heterogeneity is a primary cause of treatment failure and acquired resistance in cancer patients. Even in cancers driven by a single mutated oncogene, variability in response to targeted therapies is well known. The existence of additional genomic alterations among tumor cells can only partial...
