Genome wide identification of recessive cancer genes by combinatorial mutation analysis.

Genome wide identification of recessive cancer genes by combinatorial mutation analysis.

We devised a novel procedure to identify human cancer genes acting in a recessive manner. Our strategy was to combine the contributions of the different types of genetic alterations to loss of function: amino-acid substitutions, frame-shifts, gene deletions. We studied over 20,000 genes in 3 Gigabas...
