Growth dynamics in naturally progressing chronic lymphocytic leukaemia *
Nature volume 570, pages 474-479 (2019)

We analysed the indolent growth of CLL by reconstruction of the diseased cell population from DNA sequencing data. This analysis was made possible by our Bayesian clustering tool PhylogicNDT.
 

Comprehensive analysis of tumour initiation, spatial and temporal progression under multiple lines of treatment *
bioRxiv (2019)

This paper is a comprehesive presentation of PhylogicNDT. We have used it to reconstruct the trajectory of tumor growth in lung adenocarcinoma. While every feature is individually showcased in other, high profile peer-reviewed publictations, this remains the best reference.
