The workflow for prioritizing the cancer-related functional CRs. The processes for prioritizing functional CRs for each cancer type involved three steps. First, seven functional features were defined, and CRs were ranked based on the features. Second, the individual ranks were integrated into aggregated ranks, and multiple classifiers were constructed on the basis of the aggregated ranks. Third, the classifiers were evaluated and the prioritized CRs obtained in each cancer type. ‘RRA’ represents the robust rank aggregation method. The cancer type abbreviations are those used by TCGA.
