Fig. 7: Comparison of phylogenetic tree morphologies across four cancer types analysed by MSeq.

Schematics of branched phylogenetic trees drawn with similar branching structures to those directly observed in each of the four tumour types11,16,19. Trees were scaled so that trunk and branch lengths are proportional to the average number of ubiquitous and heterogeneous non-silent mutation loads of each tumour type (Fig. 1c). Phylogenetic tree colour code: blue: truncal mutations, yellow: shared mutations, red: private mutations.
