Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Several computational methods have been developed to identify cancer drivers genes-genes responsible for cancer development upon specific alterations. These alterations can cause the loss of function (LoF) of the gene product, for instance, in tumor suppressors, or increase or change its activity or function, if it is an oncogene. Distinguishing between these two classes is important to understand...
