Unsupervised detection of cancer driver mutations with parsimony-guided learning.

Abstract excerpt

Methods are needed to reliably prioritize biologically active driver mutations over inactive passengers in high-throughput sequencing cancer data sets. We present ParsSNP, an unsupervised functional impact predictor that is guided by parsimony. ParsSNP uses an expectation-maximization framework to find mutations that explain tumor incidence broadly, without using predefined training labels that can introduce...
