Integrating evidence from protein domains to identify cancer driver mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer can develop through the accumulation of somatic mutations that drive uncontrolled cell proliferation. A central objective in cancer research is to identify mutations that provide a selective growth advantage to tumor cells, so-called driver mutations. Many computational methods infer driver missense mutations in proteins by assessing their recurrence. However, such an approach suffers from the limited...
