Q1:
I am reading with interest your recent paper (Kumar, Clarke, and Gerstein, PNAS), but I suspect that supplement 1 and 2 are the same, and neither has a list of 434 genes. Could you please supply the list?
A1:
Thank you very much for your interest in the paper. Supplement 1 includes hotspot communities based on pan-cancer analysis (i.e., when will compute statistics over multiple cancer cohorts in TCGA). In contrast, supplement 2 lists out putative driver genes with hotspot communities for specific cancer types. If you note in supplement2, column F list out the name of particular cancer cohorts.
Regarding the number of genes, 434 genes are based on the pan-cancer analysis.
For each gene, there are multiple PDB entries. For analysis in our paper, we selected a representative structure with the highest residue coverage. However, to be exhaustive and allow researchers to analyze protein of their interest, in our supplement, we include all PDB entries for a given gene. We have tried to explain this in our method section.
Q2:
Thanks for your quick reply; but, no, this does not remove my confusion. Please take a moment to check the link from your paper at PNAS. When I download pnas.1901156116.sd01.xlsx, the file has 217 lines (not 434) and includes the column F that breaksdown by cancer type.
A2:
I am attaching our original tables with the email. It appears that the table has been somehow duplicated on the PNAS website. We will work with the PNAS team to get it fixed.
