DMCM: a Data-adaptive Mutation Clustering Method to identify cancer-related mutation clusters.

Abstract excerpt

Motivation: Functional somatic mutations within coding amino acid sequences confer growth advantage in pathogenic process. Most existing methods for identifying cancer-related mutations focus on the single amino acid or the entire gene level. However, gain-of-function mutations often cluster in specific protein regions instead of existing independently in the amino acid sequences. Some approaches for identifying...
