Pathway
PURPOSE: Use methylation profiles and clinical variables to group
tumor samples into clusters and then organize them into a tree to
represent tumor progression pathways that conform to strict heritability.
Software (in a zipped, tar file)
Instructions for the heritable clustering algorithm.
