Did we learn enough about suppressors from this study to be able to predict them? Yes -- for about half of query genes we can predict suppressor genes reasonably well. For the other half, we'll still have some work to do!

We next had a look at cancer cells, which generally accumulate lots of passenger mutations. We found that damaging passenger mutations in query genes are more likely to persist in a tumor if they are accompanied by mutations in the corresponding suppressor gene

So what are these suppressor genes? We found that there are many ways in which suppression can occur -- and that the underlying mechanisms of suppression can tell you something about disease pathology

As expected, the query genes were generally intolerant to loss-of-function mutations in the human population or in cultured cells. But to our surprise, so were the suppressor genes, in apparent contrast with their protective role in the presence of the query

@betulunlu86 and @ulinhho read 2,400 papers (!!) to look for cases in which the deleterious effects of a "query" mutation (for example a disease mutation) were rescued by a "suppressor" mutation elsewhere in the genome. They found 476 different examples
