NAME

genome music - Mutational Significance in Cancer (Cancer Mutation Analysis)


VERSION

This document describes genome music version 0.0401 (2013-12-30 at 16:01:08)


SYNOPSIS

genome music ...


DESCRIPTION

The MuSiC suite is a set of tools aimed at discovering the significance of somatic mutations found within a given cohort of cancer samples, and with respect to a variety of external data sources. The standard inputs required are:

1. mapped reads in BAM format
2. predicted or validated SNVs or indels in mutation annotation format (MAF)
3. a list of regions of interest (typically the boundaries of coding exons)
4. any relevant numeric or categorical clinical data.

The formats for inputs 3. and 4. are:

3. Regions of Interest File:
  • Do not use headers
  • 4 columns, which are [chromosome start-position(1-based) stop-position(1-based) gene_name]
4. Clinical Data Files:
  • Headers are required
  • At least 1 sample_id column and 1 attribute column, with the format being [sample_id clinical_data_attribute clinical_data_attribute ...]
  • The sample_id must match the sample_id listed in the MAF under "Tumor_Sample_Barcode" for relating the mutations of this sample.
  • The header for each clinical_data_attribute will appear in the output file to denote relationships with the mutation data from the MAF.

Descriptions for the usage of each tool (each sub-command) can be found separately.

The play command runs all of the sub-commands serially on a selected input set.
