Using somatic variant richness to mine signals from rare variants in the cancer genome.

Abstract excerpt

To date, the vast preponderance of somatic variants observed in the cancer genome have been rare variants, and it is common in practice to encounter in a new tumor variants that have not been observed previously. Here we focus on probability estimation for encountering such hitherto unseen variants. We draw upon statistical methodology that has been developed in other fields of study, notably in species...
