About DORGE
The advent of the various large-scale genomics data especially The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) facilitates the systematic characterization of cancer driver genes in Pan-Cancer analysis. To integrate available orthogonal datasets from diverse resources, an efficient approach that unbiasedly incorporates various types of features is still needed. Although other existing methods can also identify cancer driver genes, they cannot identify TSGs and OGs separately. The collection of features in previous approaches is typically limited and does not fully utilize genomic and epigenetic features that have been shown to effectively identify cancer driver genes in the past few years. To meet that need, we propose the tool DORGE: Discovery of Oncogenes and Tumor SuppressoR Genes, a comprehensive machine-learning framework to discover cancer driver genes by integrating genetic and epigenetic data in a pan-cancer analysis.
Using the website, you can identify the cancer driver genes (TSGs and OGs) based on confident molecular profiling. The default parameter provides a convinent cancer driver gene list with TSG or OG role. Furthermore, one can also customize the prediction by altering the parameters.
