Rapid advances in high-throughput sequencing and a growing realization of the
importance of evolutionary theory to cancer genomics have led to a proliferation
of phylogenetic studies of tumour progression. These studies have yielded not
only new insights but also a plethora of experimental approaches, sometimes
reaching conflicting or poorly supported conclusions. Here, we consider this body
of work in light of the key computational principles underpinning phylogenetic
inference, with the goal of providing practical guidance on the design and
analysis of scientifically rigorous tumour phylogeny studies. We survey the range
of methods and tools available to the researcher, their key applications, and the
various unsolved problems, closing with a perspective on the prospects and
broader implications of this field.
