GenBlosum: On Determining Whether Cancer Mutations Are Functional or Random

Codon-aware neutral modeling provides a statistical framework for distinguishing mutations that deviate from stochastic expectations and may aid in the interpretation of variants of unspecified significance. By contextualizing mutational severity relative to neutral processes, this approach offers insight into tumor evolution and may support prognostic assessment without relying on predefined gene-level neutrality.

Abstract

Codon-aware neutral modeling provides a statistical framework for distinguishing mutations that deviate from stochastic expectations and may aid in the interpretation of variants of unspecified significance. By contextualizing mutational severity relative to neutral processes, this approach offers insight into tumor evolution and may support prognostic assessment without relying on predefined gene-level neutrality.
