Identifying molecular subtypes of cancer can improve personalized treatment. Here the authors present CIMLR, an algorithm that integrates multi-omic data to reveal cancer subtypes; subtypes discovered by CIMLR differ in activity of cancer-associated pathways and are significantly predictive of patient outcomes.
