RESUMO
We introduce HUNTRESS, a computational method for mutational intratumor heterogeneity inference from noisy genotype matrices derived from single-cell sequencing data, the running time of which is linear with the number of cells and quadratic with the number of mutations. We prove that, under reasonable conditions, HUNTRESS computes the true progression history of a tumor with high probability. On simulated and real tumor sequencing data, HUNTRESS is demonstrated to be faster than available alternatives with comparable or better accuracy. Additionally, the progression histories of tumors inferred by HUNTRESS on real single-cell sequencing datasets agree with the best known evolution scenarios for the associated tumors.
