Statistical tools and R software for cancer driver probabilities.

This chapter provides a description and illustration of CancerMutationAnalysis and Cancer MutationMCMC, two open source R packages specifically designed for the analysis of somatic mutations in cancer genome studies, at both the gene and gene-set levels.
