4/9 What does OncoGAN simulate?. - Tumor heterogeneity (A): Simulating donors with varying mutational burdens and characteristics. - Tissue-specific mutational patterns (B): Accurately modeling the genomic distribution of mutations and mutational signatures.

3/9. - Benchmarking: Since the ground truth of real cancer genomes is often unknown, evaluations typically compare methods, introducing potential bias. By generating synthetic genomes with a known ground truth, OncoGAN helps improve and benchmark these tools.

2/9 Why is OncoGAN necessary?. - Improving data sharing: We have demonstrated that OncoGAN does not leak any private patient data from its training set, a crucial factor given the sensitivity of genetic information as protected health data.
