Abstract excerpt
Systematic sequencing of cancer genomes has revealed prevalent heterogeneity, with patients harboring various combinatorial patterns of genetic alteration. In particular, a phenomenon that a group of genes exhibits mutually exclusive patterns has been widespread across cancers, covering a broad spectrum of crucial cancer pathways. Recently, there is considerable evidence showing that, mutual exclusivity reflects...
