Abstract excerpt
It has been recognized that genetic mutations in specific nucleotides may give rise to cancer via the alteration of signaling pathways. Thus, the detection of those cancer-causing mutations has received considerable interest in cancer genetic research. Here, we propose a statistical model for characterizing genes that lead to cancer through point mutations using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)...
