SigProfilerClusters

Tool for analyzing the inter-mutational distances between SNV-SNV and INDEL-INDEL mutations. Tool separates mutations into clustered and non-clustered groups on a sample-dependent basis and subclassifies all SNVs into a set category of clustered event: i) DBS; ii) MBS; iii) omikli; and iv) kataegis. Indels are not subclassifed.

This tool was previously under the project name of SigProfilerHotSpots, but has been renamed to SigProfilerClusters. For all instructions below, SigProfilerClusters may be interchanged with SigProfilerHotSpots if the older version of the tools is being used.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to provide a guide for using the SigProfilerClusters framework. An extensive Wiki page detailing the usage of this tool can be found at https://osf.io/qpmzw/wiki/home/.

PREREQUISITES

The framework is written in PYTHON, and uses additional SigProfiler packages:

Please visit their respective GitHub pages for detailed installation and usage instructions.

QUICK START GUIDE

This section will guide you through the minimum steps required to perform clustered analysis:

1a. Install the python package using pip (current package): pip install SigProfilerClusters

1b. Install the python package using pip (deprecated version): pip install SigProfilerHotSpots

Install your desired reference genome from the command line/terminal as follows (available reference genomes are: GRCh37, GRCh38, mm9, and mm10):

$ python
>> from SigProfilerMatrixGenerator import install as genInstall
>> genInstall.install('GRCh37', rsync=False, bash=True)

This will install the human 37 assembly as a reference genome. You may install as many genomes as you wish. If you have a firewall on your server, you may need to install rsync and use the rsync=True parameter. Similarly, if you do not have bash, use bash=False.

  1. Place your vcf files in your desired output folder. It is recommended that you name this folder based on your project's name. Before you can analyze clustered mutations, you need to generate a background model for each of your samples. To do this, generate a minimum of 100 simulations for your project (see SigProfilerSimulator for a detailed list of parameters):
>>from SigProfilerSimulator import SigProfilerSimulator as sigSim
>>sigSim.SigProfilerSimulator(project, project_path, genome, contexts=["96"], simulations=100, chrom_based=True)
  1. Now the original mutations can be partitioned into clustered and non-clustered sets using the required parameters below:
>> from SigProfilerClusters import SigProfilerClusters as hp
>> hp.analysis(project, genome, contexts, simContext, input_path)

See below for a detailed list of available parameters

  1. The partitioned vcf files are placed under [project_path]/ouput/vcf_files/[project]_clustered/ and [project_path]/ouput/vcf_files/[project]nonClustered/. You can visualize the results by looking at the IMD plots available under [project_path]/ouput/simulations/[project]simulations[genome][context]_intradistance_plots/.

AVAILABLE PARAMETERS

Required:
        project:			[string] Unique name for the given project
        genome:			[string] Reference genome to use. Must be installed using SigProfilerMatrixGenerator
        contexts:			[string] Mutation context for measuring IMD (e.g. "6", "96", "1536", etc,)
        simContext: 		[list of strings] Mutations context that was used for generating the background model (e.g ["6144"] or ["96"])
        input_path:			[string] Path to the given project

	Optional:
        analysis:	 		[string] Desired analysis pipeline. By default output_type='all'. Other options include "subClassify" and "hotspot". 
        sortSims:			[boolean] Option to sort the simulated files if they have already been sorted. By default sortSims=True to ensure accurate results. The files must be sorted for accurate results. 
        interdistance:			[string] The mutation types to calculate IMDs between - Use only when performing analysis of indels (default='ID').
        calculateIMD:		[boolean] Parameter to calculate the IMDs. This will save time if you need to rerun the subclassification step only (default=True).
        chrom_based:		[boolean] Option to generate chromosome-dependent IMDs per sample. By default chrom_based=False. 
        max_cpu:			[integer] Change the number of allocated CPUs. By default all CPUs are used
        subClassify:		[boolean] Subclassify the clustered mutations. Requires that VAF scores are available in TCGA or Sanger format. By default subClassify=False 
        plotIMDfigure:	[boolean] Parameter that generates IMD and mutational spectra plots for each sample (default=True).
        plotRainfall		[boolean] Parameter that generates rainfall plots for each sample using the subclassification of clustered events (default=True).

        The following parameters are used if the subClassify argument is True:
        includedVAFs:	[boolean] Parameter that informs the tool of the inclusion of VAFs in the dataset (default=True)
        sanger:			[boolean] The input files are from Sanger. By default sanger=True
        TCGA:			[boolean] The input files are from TCGA. By default TCGA=False
        windowSize:		[integer] Window size for calculating mutation density in the rainfall plots. By default windowSize=10000000
        correction		[boolean] Optional parameter to perform a genome-wide mutational density correction (boolean; default=False)
