Approaches for the identification of driver mutations in cancer: A tutorial from a computational perspective.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer is a complex disease caused by the accumulation of genetic alterations during the individual's life. Such alterations are called genetic mutations and can be divided into two groups: (1) Passenger mutations, which are not responsible for cancer and (2) Driver mutations, which are significant for cancer and responsible for its initiation and progression. Cancer cells undergo a large number of mutations, of...
