CHASM 3.0 / CHASMplus 1.0 – Cancer-specific High-throughput Annotation of Somatic Mutations

CHASM 3.0 / CHASMplus 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

CHASM is a method that predicts the functional significance of somatic missense mutations observed in the genomes of cancer cells, allowing mutations to be prioritized in subsequent functional studies, based on the probability that they give the cells a selective survival advantage.

CHASMplus is a machine learning method that accurately distinguishes between driver and passenger missense mutations, even for those found at low frequencies or are cancer type-specific.
