摘要:

动机:揭示癌症的基因组原因,即癌症驱动基因,是生物医学研究的一项基本任务。癌症驱动基因驱动癌症的发展和进展,因此识别癌症驱动基因及其调控机制对于癌症治疗和干预的设计至关重要。利用计算机科学和数据科学的优势,已经开发了许多计算方法,以利用多种类型的基因组数据来揭示癌症驱动因素及其在癌症发展和进展背后的调控机制。由于癌症基因驱动癌症机制的复杂性和该领域的快速发展,有必要对当前发现不同类型癌症驱动因子的计算方法进行全面回顾。结果:我们调查了从基因组数据中识别癌症驱动因素的计算方法。我们将这些方法分为三组,用于单个驱动程序识别的方法,用于驱动程序模块识别的方法,以及用于识别个性化癌症驱动程序的方法。我们还进行了一个案例研究,比较目前的方法的性能。我们进一步分析了当前方法的优点和局限性,并讨论了该主题的挑战和未来的发展方向。此外,我们调查了用于发现和验证癌症驱动程序的资源,以便提供一站式的工具参考,以促进癌症驱动程序的发现。本文的最终目的是帮助那些对该主题感兴趣的人建立一个坚实的背景,以开展该领域的进一步研究。

英文摘要:

Motivation: Uncovering the genomic causes of cancer, known as cancer driver genes, is a fundamental task in biomedical research. Cancer driver genes drive the development and progression of cancer, thus identifying cancer driver genes and their regulatory mechanism is crucial to the design of cancer treatment and intervention. Many computational methods, which take the advantages of computer science and data science, have been developed to utilise multiple types of genomic data to reveal cancer drivers and their regulatory mechanism behind cancer development and progression. Due to the complexity of the mechanistic insight of cancer genes in driving cancer and the fast development of the field, it is necessary to have a comprehensive review about the current computational methods for discovering different types of cancer drivers. Results: We survey computational methods for identifying cancer drivers from genomic data. We categorise the methods into three groups, methods for single driver identification, methods for driver module identification, and methods for identifying personalised cancer drivers. We also conduct a case study to compare the performance of the current methods. We further analyse the advantages and limitations of the current methods, and discuss the challenges and future directions of the topic. In addition, we investigate the resources for discovering and validating cancer drivers in order to provide a one-stop reference of the tools to facilitate cancer driver discovery. The ultimate goal of the paper is to help those interested in the topic to establish a solid background to carry out further research in the field.
