Cancer driver mutations are identified by predicting neutral mutation rates across the entire genome
that were also common to all whole-exome and targeted sequenced samples . For a given cancer, we considered ‘long-tail’ genes to be driver genes that were not on the list of known driver genes for the given cancer . Dig was then used to quantify mutational excess in those long-tail genes.
We directly estimated thevalue of the mutational burden long-tail genes by convolving the neutral mutation distributions for each individual gene and calculating the upper-tail probability of at least the number of observed mutations across all genes occurring by chance under the null distribution. We calculated 95% CIs of excess mutations using the same Monte Carlo approach as in our analysis of cryptic splice SNVs.

WXRT icon Lin Brehmer going on leave of absence for prostate cancer treatment'The cancer was caught early, treated early, but it has spread places one would rather it did not spread,' Brehmer wrote. 'Starting Monday I will begin a long period of chemotherapy. It is necessary for me to take a leave of absence from my radio show.'
