A computational approach for the discovery of significant cancer genes by weighted mutation and asymmetric spreading strength in networks.

Abstract excerpt

Identifying significantly mutated genes in cancer is essential for understanding the mechanisms of tumor initiation and progression. This task is a key challenge since large-scale genomic studies have reported an endless number of genes mutated at a shallow frequency. Towards uncovering infrequently mutated genes, gene interaction networks combined with mutation data have been explored. This work proposes...
