发表于 Nat Genet. 2014 Nov, 文章是 Genome-wide analysis of noncoding regulatory mutations in cancer. 本研究专注于分析那些有全基因组测序的肿瘤样本,不到一千个。采取3个研究策略:
- hotspot analysis focused on small regions that frequently contained mutations;
- regional recurrence analysis identified annotated regions that contained numerous mutations;
- transcription factor analysis nominated regions with ETS transcription factor binding sites that were disrupted or created by mutation. Continue reading
