Multi-Omics Data Fusion via a Joint Kernel Learning Model for Cancer Subtype Discovery and Essential Gene Identification.

The multiple sources of cancer determine its multiple causes, and the same cancer can be composed of many different subtypes. Identification of cancer subtypes is a key part of personalized cancer treatment and provides an important reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Some studies have shown that there are significant differences in the genetic and epigenetic profiles among different cancer subtypes during carcinogenesis and development.
