Dataset Description from EGA: "Sequencing of untreated pancreatic cancer metastases and primary tumor sections. " Abstract from the MSK Synapse article to further understand the dataset in EGA: "The extent of heterogeneity among driver gene mutations present in naturally occurring metastases-that is, treatment-naive metastatic disease-is largely unknown. To address this issue, we carried out 60x...
