Inferring the location and effect of tumor suppressor genes by instability-selection modeling of allelic-loss data.

Abstract excerpt

Cancerous tumor growth creates cells with abnormal DNA. Allelic-loss experiments identify genomic deletions in cancer cells, but sources of variation and intrinsic dependencies complicate inference about the location and effect of suppressor genes; such genes are the target of these experiments and are thought to be involved in tumor development. We investigate properties of an instability-selection model of...
