Cancer is thought to arise through the accumulation of genomic aberrations evolving under Darwinian selection. However, it remains unclear when associated with metastasis emerge during tumor evolution. Uveal melanoma (UM) most common primary eye cancer and frequently leads metastatic death, which strongly linked BAP1 mutations. Accordingly, UM ideally suited for studying clonal evolution competence. Here we analyze sequencing data from 151 samples using a customized bioinformatic pipeline,...
