New Statistical Model Identifies Rare Tumor Suppressing Genes

Oct 31, 2017

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Using a pan-cancer analysis called allele-specific copy number analysis of tumors (ASCAT), researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, the University of Leuven, and their colleagues developed a new type statistical model, which they were able to use to identify 27 new tumor suppressing genes.
