Clonal dynamics following p53 loss of heterozygosity in Kras-driven cancers

Using mosaic analysis with double markers to label genetically-distinct clones in established tumors, the authors studied the effects of p53 loss in lung and pancreatic cancers. They find that loss of p53 enhances progression in both models but only influences initiation in the pancreas.
