In accordance with our previous report (11), at 60% coverage we find 104 duplicable cancer genes (14.1% of the total), which are associated with 336 duplicated loci. According to the available genome annotation, 44% of these additional hits correspond to known genes, 15% to more than one gene and 41% to non-genic regions. Only 22% of duplicable cancer genes duplicate in loci with no evidence of transcription, indicating that, although our measure of duplicability is based on direct genome comparison, it mostly detects transcribed paralogs.
