The topic of discussion for this week’s journal club is: Cell selection — Multicellular organisms and Cancer.  We are reading Tao et al. 2011 paper entitled ‘Rapid growth of a hepatocellular carcinoma and the driving mutations revealed by cell-population genetic analysis of whole-genome data’

An additional review on this topic by Greaves and Maley (2012) ‘Clonal evolution in cancer‘ will also be discussed.
