Abstract excerpt
Determining which mutations drive tumor progression is a defining question in cancer genomics. We analyzed sequence evolution in Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) by computing the number of parallel mutations and by estimating ω=dN/dS, a measure of the strength and direction of selection. The ω values of almost all 7617 mutated genes in GBM are much higher than in germline genes. We identified only 21 genes under...
