Best Way To Visualize Next Generation Sequencing Tumor Evolution In A Graphic?

I have a good deal of NGS data with Normal, tumor, and Relapse samples. I would like a way of graphically depicting evolution regarding different mutations and genetic events. I have data on point mutants, CNV, and fusions but no good way to represent it as an evolving tumor. Does anyone know of a figure, program, or style of graphic that would be great in vizually showing important genetic changes in tumor evolution across many samples? Any help greatly appreciated.

How about something like the depiction used in Figure 2 of this paper: Clonal evolution in relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia revealed by whole-genome sequencing

Ding et al. 2012

This is beautiful.

Hello,

Do you know with which Software they did this figure ?

Thank you

Some previus examples only show key points suring tumor progression, such as http://www.pnas.org/content/105/11/4283/F5.large.jpg

In your case, maybe you can plot some karyograms showing coverages, duplications and marking all events as occured in time. Please share your plot ...
