Deciphering the Functional Roles of Individual Cancer Alleles Across Comprehensive Cancer Genomic Studies.

Cancer genome data has been growing in both size and complexity, primarily driven by advances in next-generation sequencing technologies, such as Pan-cancer data from TCGA, ICGC, and single-cell sequencing. Yet, discerning the functional role of individual genomic lesions remains a substantial challenge due to the complexity and scale of the data. Previously, we introduced REVEALER, which identifies groups of genomic alterations that significantly associate with target functional profiles or phenotypes, such as pathway activation, gene dependency, or drug response.
