SSA-ME Detection of cancer driver genes using mutual exclusivity by small subnetwork analysis

Because of its clonal evolution a tumor rarely contains multiple genomic alterations in the same pathway as disrupting the pathway by one gene often is sufficient to confer the complete fitness advantage. As a result, many cancer driver genes display mutual exclusivity across tumors. However, search...
