Identification of driver mutations in human diseases is often limited by cohort size and availability of appropriate statistical models. We propose a method for the systematic discovery of genetic alterations that are causal determinants of disease, by prioritizing genes upstream of functional disease drivers, within regulatory networks inferred de novo from experimental data. Here we present the implementation of Driver-gene Inference by Genetical-Genomic Information Theory as an R-system package.

人类疾病中驱动突变的识别常常受到队列规模和适当统计模型可用性的限制。我们提出了一种系统发现作为疾病因果决定因素的基因改变的方法,通过在从实验数据中从头推断的调控网络内,对功能性疾病驱动因素上游的基因进行优先级排序。在此,我们展示了基于遗传基因组信息理论的驱动基因推断作为一个R系统包的实现。
