The relationship between functional genes and the five known cancer gene sets. a The p-value distribution for different top N ranked functional gene sets enrichment analysis with the five known cancer gene sets including the curated gene sets in pathway in cancer, colorectal cancer, cancer gene census, pan-caner driver genes, and cancer driver genes. Three stars (***) marks functional gene set whose p-value < 0.001, two stars (**) for functional gene set with p-value < 0.01, one star (*) for functional gene set with p-value < 0.05, and no stars for the one whose p-value > 0.05. b Venn plots for 1063 functional genes and the five known cancer gene sets. c Venn plots for the 185 core functional genes and the five known cancer gene sets
