By inferring combinatorial association logic

Poster (2009) - Jeroen de Ridder, Jan Bot, Jaap Kool, Anthony Uren, Lodewyk Wessels, Marcel Reinders
In this study, 43 tumors that were induced by retroviral insertional mutagenesis are expression profiled, resulting in a dataset for which both the initiating events (the viral integration sites) as well as the consequent expression profiles are available.
To capture complex associations that arise due to interaction among insertion target genes, we infer small Boolean logic networks that explicitly incorporate operators to model the potential parallel alternatives (‘exclusive-or’ gates) as well as the potential cooperation between mutations (‘and’ gates). ...

By statistical analysis of Retroviral Insertional Mutagenesis Data

Poster (2006) - Jeroen de Ridder, Lodewyk Wessels, Anthony Uren, Jaap Kool, Marcel Reinders
Viruses can induce oncogenic mutations when inserted near (or within) proto-oncogenes. Cancer genes can be identified by determining the loci of viral
insertions from tumors induced by retroviruses. Most often, multiple co-occurring mutations are needed for a cell to develop into a tumor. We propose a 2D Gaussian Kernel Convolution method to discover the cooperating oncogenes from publicly available retroviral insertional mutagenesis data.
