Widespread perturbation of ETS factor binding sites in cancer

Few cancer drivers in non-coding regions have been identified so far. Here, the authors develop a transcription factor-aware burden test to predict non-coding variants and analyze the impact on transcription factor binding - especially ETS factors - as well as their impact on transcriptional activit...

Summary:Few cancer drivers in non-coding regions have been identified so far. Here, the authors develop a transcription factor-aware burden test to predict non-coding variants and analyze the impact on transcription factor binding - especially ETS factors - as well as their impact on transcriptional activity.
