Novel Driver Strength Index highlights important cancer genes in TCGA PanCanAtlas patients
Background Cancer driver genes are usually ranked by mutation frequency, which does not necessarily reflect their driver strength. We hypothesize that driver strength is higher for genes preferentially mutated in patients with few driver mutations overall, because these few mutations should be stron...
