FATHMM-XF and PrimateAI: Comprehensive assessment of computational algorithms in predicting cancer driver mutations reverses the order

  • Low severity
  • Not yet reviewed
  • Ordering reversal
  • Different tasks across studies

Comprehensive assessment of computational algorithms in predicting cancer driver mutations ranks PrimateAI above FATHMM-XF in 15 of 19 comparisons; other studies rank FATHMM-XF above PrimateAI in 10 of 12.

An automatic lead, not a finding of error. The results below are shown as published, everywhere on the site, until a reviewer decides otherwise.

How to help resolve this

If you know why these studies disagree, for example a different population, metric or preprocessing step, or you have a corrected value, tell us through the contribution form. A reviewer checks every submission against its source before anything changes, and the step is added to the follow-up above.
