Two-phase model of hematopoietic clonal growth. The likelihood of a clone transitioning from stochastic to deterministic growth is proportional to its fitness. Clones with no fitness advantage (eg, orange trajectories) are unlikely to exceed their drift thresholds and tend to disappear or remain undetectable. Fitter clones (eg, black trajectory) are more likely to reach deterministic growth.
