REVOLVER is a tool for Transfer Learning (TL) in Cancer Evolution.
TL is a relatively new declination of Machine Learning in which we share information across learning tasks and domains to increase our performance. TL is an umbrella term for several paradigms; in REVOLVER what we do is actually Multi-task Learning.
REVOLVER correlates the task of selecting n trees from n patients for which sequencing data from one or more samples is available. The method, its mathematical ground and the pseudocode of the algorithm are described in the main paper.

I am trying to provide fast response to general queries about the tool and the analysis, as well as bug fixing. If you have a question please look at the open and closed issues to see if your question has been already addressed.
Current version: released ~June 2018, codename "Haggis and tatties"
