Abstract:
Dataset contains results of multiple parallel calculations using the tugHall simulator. Output data of simulations are variant allele frequencies for four genes (APC, KRAS, TP53, and PIK3CA) related to colorectal cancer. During each simulation tugHall stochastically reproduces Darwinian evolution for cancer cells and calculates clonal heterogeneity. The probabilities of stochastic processes depend on a correspondence matrix between genome information and cancer hallmarks. As a result, tugHall records variant allele frequencies for the final stage of evolution. The number of trials is several million to get rich statistics of stochastic processes. These data can be used for approximate Bayesian computation and other statistical methods to get personalized coefficients for patients with colorectal cancer. The procedure of usage data is explained in our paper [Bioinformatics, 36, 11 (2020) 3597] in which the part of these data was used.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
