Pan-cancer screen for mutations in non-coding elements with conservation and cancer specificity reveals correlations with expression and survival
5 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Cancer develops by accumulation of somatic driver mutations, which impact cellular function. Mutations in non-coding regulatory regions can now be studied genome-wide and further characterized by correlation with gene expression and clinical outcome to identify driver candidates. Using a new two-stage procedure, called ncDriver, we first screened 507 ICGC whole-genomes from 10 cancer types for non-coding...
