Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different combinations of genetic alterations driving its development in different individuals.  introduce CoMEt, an algorithm to identify combinations of alterations that exhibit a pattern of mutual exclusivity across individuals, often observed for alterations in the same pathway. CoMEt includes an exact statistical test for mutual exclusivity and techniques to perform simultaneous analysis of multiple sets of mutually exclusive and subtype-specific alterations.  demonstrate that CoMEt outperforms existing approaches on simulated and real data.  apply CoMEt to five different cancer types, identifying both known cancer genes and pathways, and novel putative cancer genes.
