Network-Based Analysis to Identify Drivers of Metastatic Prostate Cancer Using GoNetic

Most known driver genes of metastatic prostate cancer are frequently mutated. To dig into the long tail of rarely mutated drivers, we performed network-based driver identification on the Hartwig Medical Foundation metastatic prostate cancer data set (HMF cohort). Hereto, we developed GoNetic, a meth...

Network-Based Analysis to Identify Drivers of Metastatic Prostate Cancer Using GoNetic
description Most known driver genes of metastatic prostate cancer are frequently mutated.
