Abstract excerpt
Next-generation DNA sequencing technologies are enabling genome-wide measurements of somatic mutations in large numbers of cancer patients. A major challenge in the interpretation of these data is to distinguish functional "driver mutations" important for cancer development from random "passenger mutations." A common approach for identifying driver mutations is to find genes that are mutated at significant...
