Merged summary
TL;DR - Mouse experiments show that inherited genetic background interacts with newly acquired mutations after DNA damage to steer tumour evolution. The findings suggest genetic ancestry can influence genome stability and which cancer-cell traits are selected.
- Researchers experimentally reran tumour evolution in mice after DNA damage.
- Background genetics and acquired mutations jointly shaped genome stability.
- Their interaction altered selection pressures and cancer’s evolutionary trajectory.
- The work provides experimental evidence linking genetic ancestry to cancer evolution.
