The Cancer Genome Interpreter (CGI) project develops a tool that allows a systematic and improved interpretation of tumour genomes, designed to support the identification of tumour alterations driving the disease and/or that may be therapeutically actionable.
CGI is based on computational methods - silicon-based saturation mutagenesis of cancer genes (BoostDM and OncodriveMut) - as well as knowledge collected from the public domain to annotate alterations in a tumour according to various levels of evidence.
