Abstract excerpt
The main challenge in cancer genomics is to distinguish the driver genes from passenger or neutral genes. Cancer genomes exhibit extensive mutational heterogeneity that no two genomes contain exactly the same somatic mutations. Such mutual exclusivity (ME) of mutations has been observed in cancer data and is associated with functional pathways. Analysis of ME patterns may provide useful clues to driver genes or...
