Clonal architecture plots for a tumor are also represented in this way. See SciClone paper as an example.

It looks like a fancy Sankey or alluvial diagram. This would be a more typical example:

And there is another in here: https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/Director/inst/doc/vignette.pdf

Alluvial diagrams are a form of parallel coordinates diagram. You can plot them in R with the alluvial package or the ggalluvial extension of ggplot2.

To me it looks like overlapping horizontal violin plots, that have been smoothed at the edges. This could be a design that Guardant360 came up with (the legend mentions that the figures were generated by Guardant360). Here is an example of a horizontal violin plot.
