Lecture 1: The Search for Genetic Drivers of Cancer

The remarkable efforts recently carried out to fully understand the mutational landscape of various cancer types have motivated the development of many computational approaches to interpret cancer genomic data. This session will introduce some of these computational approaches with particular focus on the statistical strategies developed to identify driver mutations and genes from the vast number of somatic mutations present in cancer genomes.
