Overview

About

Maintained by Juri ReimandFirst published 2026-03-136 releasesCRAN page ↗

A method for finding enrichments of somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions-deletions (Indels) in functional elements in the human genome. 'ActiveDriverWGS' detects coding and noncoding cancer driver elements using whole genome sequencing data. The method is part of the publication H. Zhu et al. (2020) doi:10.1016/j.molcel.2019.12.027 "Candidate Cancer Driver Mutations in Distal Regulatory Elements and Long-Range Chromatin Interaction Networks" in Molecular Cell.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("ActiveDriverWGS", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-activedriverwgs

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
