Merged summary
TL;DR - Experiments replaying tumour evolution across genetically divergent mouse strains show that inherited genetic background shapes how acquired cancer-driver mutations influence early cancer development.
- Genetic ancestry interacts with somatic cancer-driving mutations.
- These interactions alter the earliest trajectories of tumour evolution.
- Mouse-strain diversity provides an experimental framework for isolating inherited-background effects.
- The findings highlight genetic background as an important variable in cancer-evolution studies.
