Abstract excerpt
Cancer arises from the complex interplay of various factors. Traditionally, the identification of driver genes focuses primarily on the analysis of somatic mutations. We describe a new method for the detection of driver gene pairs based on an epistasis analysis that considers both germline and somatic variations. Specifically, the identification of significantly mutated gene pairs entails the calculation of a...
