Dysregulated phosphorylation is well-known in cancers, but it has largely been studied in isolation from mutations. Here the authors introduce HotPho, a tool that can discover spatial interactions between phosphosites and mutations, which are associated with activating mutation and genetic dependencies in cancer.
