Abstract
Tumours contain multiple, genetically diverse subclonal populations of cells that have evolved from a single progenitor population. Currently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the third generation sequencing (TGS) have recently allowed us to develop algorithms to quantitatively dissect the extent of heterogeneity within a tumour, resolve cancer evolution history and identify the somatic variations and aneuploidy events with subclonal frequency. However, existing tumour NGS data has no ground truth annotation to validate all these NGS based tumour analysis algorithms. To benchmark these algorithms, a powerful tumour genome simulation tool which could simulate all the distinct subclonal genomes with diverse aneuploidy events and somatic variations according to the given tumour evolution history is in need. We provide a simulation package, Pysubsim-tree, which could simulate the tumour genomes according to their evolution history defined by the somatic variations and aneuploidy events. Pysubsim-tree is free, open source, available at: https://github.com/dustincys/pysubsimtree.
