TLDR
The result of discussions within the ICGC on how to address the challenge of identifying mutations that contribute to oncogenesis, tumor maintenance or response to therapy is presented, and computational techniques to annotate somatic variants and predict their impact on cancer phenotype are recommended.
Abstract
International Cancer Genome Consortium members review and recommend computational approaches for identifying mutations that drive cancer progression from among the many sequence variants present in tumor genomes.

Patterns of Somatic Mutation in Human Cancer Genomes

TL;DR: In this paper, the coding exons of the family of 518 protein kinases were sequenced in 210 cancers of diverse histological types to explore the nature of the information that will be derived from cancer genome sequencing.

Comprehensive Characterization of Cancer Driver Genes and Mutations.

TL;DR: This study reports a PanCancer and PanSoftware analysis spanning 9,423 tumor exomes (comprising all 33 of The Cancer Genome Atlas projects) and using 26 computational tools to catalog driver genes and mutations, identifying 299 driver genes with implications regarding their anatomical sites and cancer/cell types.

A method and server for predicting damaging missense mutations.

TL;DR: A new method and the corresponding software tool, PolyPhen-2, which is different from the early tool polyPhen1 in the set of predictive features, alignment pipeline, and the method of classification is presented and performance, as presented by its receiver operating characteristic curves, was consistently superior.
