Abstract
Identifying cancer drivers is critical to advancing cancer research and personalized medicine. Most methods for identifying cancer drivers focus on the entire genes or a single mutation site. But not all mutations in a gene have the same effect, the consequences of which usually depend on the position in the protein and amino acid change. The intermediate level of analysis between individual locations and the entire gene may give us better statistics and better resolution than the former. Here, we developed prDriver, a Bayesian hierarchical modeling method that identifies regions of proteins with high functional impact scores and significant effects on gene expression levels. Our study highlights the importance of integrating multi-omics data in predicting cancer driver and provides a statistically rigorous solution for cancer target discovery and development.
