Systematic discovery of the functional impact of somatic genome alterations in individual tumors through tumor-specific causal inference.

Cancer is mainly caused by somatic genome alterations (SGAs). Precision oncology involves identifying and targeting tumor-specific aberrations resulting from causative SGAs. We developed a novel tumor-specific computational framework that finds the likely causative SGAs in an individual tumor and es...
