A validated lineage-derived somatic truth data set enables benchmarking in cancer genome analysis

Megan Shand et al. present Lineage derived Somatic Truth (LinST), a validated data set of somatic mutations from a colon cancer cell line with a known lineage tree structure. They show that LinST can be used to benchmark true-positive and false-positive rates in somatic variant-calling pipelines app...
