Single-cell epigenomic technologies are refining our understanding of cancer evolution. Here Laisné et al. describe how epigenomic heterogeneity generates dynamic reservoirs of tumour cell states, through epigenomic reprogramming and selection among stochastic changes, which can be leveraged in the design of novel therapies.
