But for decades, researchers have debated whether aneuploidy promotes the growth of cancers, or is simply a side effect of cancer cells’ fast growth. Such large-scale changes in DNA have been difficult to study. We found that these aneuploidies are being directly selected for or against depending on their impact on cancer cells.”
