Oncodrive-CIS: a method to reveal likely driver genes based on the impact of their copy number changes on expression.

A well-established approach for detecting genes involved in tumorigenesis due to copy number alterations (CNAs) is to assess the recurrence of the alteration across multiple samples. Expression data can be used to filter this list of candidates by assessing whether the gene expression significantly...
