mutopia 1.0.8

No project description provided

MuTopia learns topographic models of somatic mutation: it simultaneously decomposes a cohort’s mutation counts into distinct processes (signatures) and explains how local genomic context shapes each signature’s activity across the genome.

Installation

MuTopia requires Python 3.11 due to a pinned scikit-learn dependency (1.4.2) used for fast gradient-boosted tree training. We recommend uv — it resolves and installs the full dependency set in seconds and keeps environments reproducible across machines.

With Docker (zero setup)

The pre-built image ships with MuTopia plus all the bioinformatics tools it needs (bedtools, bcftools, tabix, UCSC bigWigAverageOverBed):

docker pull allenlynch/mutopia:latest
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/workspace allenlynch/mutopia:latest gtensor --help

With uv (recommended for native installs)

# Install uv if you don't have it
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

uv venv --python 3.11 .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install mutopia

With conda / bioconda

MuTopia is published on bioconda, which pulls in the bioinformatics tool dependencies (bedtools, bcftools, tabix, samtools) automatically:

conda create -n mutopia -c conda-forge -c bioconda -y python=3.11 mutopia
conda activate mutopia

Verify the CLI tools are on your PATH:

gtensor --help
topo-model --help
mutopia --help

Five minutes to MuTopia

The fastest way to get started is to:

1. Pull the docker.

2. Download a pre-trained model from our Zenodo repository.

3. Apply it to your mutation data. The annotate-vcf command infers which topographical mutational processes are active in your sample and annotates each mutation with its most likely generating process.

Note: this is just an example VCF, so the results aren’t meaningful.

docker pull allenlynch/mutopia:latest

MuTopia can do a lot more than just data annotation. Check out the tutorials for walkthroughs on data munging, model training, and mutational topography analysis!
