Software & Datasets
Software
- CSI-MAC (Cancer Selection Intensity using Model Averaged Clustering): A program that can be used to identify genes, gene regions, and sites that contribute to tumorigenesis when mutated, as well as to estimate the relative contribution of those genes, gene regions, and mutations to the somatic evolution of cancer.
-
MASS-PRF (Model Averaged Site Selection with Poisson Random Field theory): A program that quantifies heterogeneity of selection intensity across sites within coding sequences by using polymorphism and divergence data.
