Non-invasive forecasting of skin cancer evolution through longitudinal hair sampling
The ability to longitudinally track clonal evolution non-invasively would transform cancer interception strategies, long before late-stage disease when most cancer genomes are analysed. Here, we demonstrate that repeated hair sampling from the same individual followed by exome sequencing enables tracking of somatic evolution in vivo over several months after chemically induced skin…
