Multiview representation learning for identification of novel cancer genes and their causative biological mechanisms

Tumorigenesis arises from the dysfunction of cancer genes, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation through various mechanisms. Establishing a complete cancer gene catalogue will make precision oncology possible. Although existing methods based on graph neural networks (GNN) are effective in identifying cancer genes, they fall short in effectively integrating data from multiple views and interpreting predictive outcomes. To address these shortcomings, an interpretable representation …
