Abstract

Tumor heterogeneity poses a barrier to cancer treatment. Liu et al. investigate radiographically distinct regions of an ependymoma tumor using transcriptomic, genetic, and epigenomic profiling and discover axes of gene expression programs that recapitulate normal brain development in addition to phylogenies that shed light on the tumorigenesis of ependymoma.
