Recurrence of cancer across primary sites and publications. a Proportion of study-specific cancer genes reported by each of the seven skin melanoma screens. b Total number of cancer genes and donors across 24 cancer types of the blood. The full list of blood cancer types is reported in Additional file 2: Table S2. c Number of primary sites in which each known or candidate cancer gene was reported to be a driver. d Number of publications in which each known or candidate cancer gene was reported to be a driver. e Number of methods used to predict cancer genes for drivers found in more than one publication. f Intersection of cancer genes in the cancer-specific and pan-cancer studies. g Venn diagram of cancer genes across the four pan-cancer studies of adult donors. h Intersection of cancer genes in pan-cancer screens of adult and pediatric donors. In f, g, and h, the number of donors followed by the total number of cancer genes are given in brackets
