Driver/passenger mutations visualization of binary vectors. Visualization with Principal Component Analysis of binary mutation vectors. The binary vectors are made by selecting column vectors of patient-mutation profiles. Because driver mutations tend to frequently appear in cancer profiles of patients, there are many 1s in the driver mutation vectors and the size of the driver mutation vectors are large. Therefore, some of driver mutation vectors are far from most mutation vectors, The “Boxed Area” is the expanded visualization of the boxed area of “Binary” visualization where most of passenger mutation vectors exist. We found that the drivers and passengers were actually scrambled while they seemed to be well-separated in a broader scope
