<h4>Background</h4>Intratumoral heterogeneity is a major obstacle for the treatment of cancer, as the presence of even minor populations that are insensitive to therapy can lead to disease relapse. Increased clonal diversity has been correlated with a poor prognosis for cancer patients, and we therefore examined genetic, transcriptional, and functional diversity in metastatic melanoma.<h4>Methods</h4>Amplicon sequencing and SNP microarrays were used to profile somatic mutations and DNA copy numb ...[more]
