sigProfilerPlotting 1.3.5

SigProfiler plotting tool

SigProfilerPlotting

SigProfilerPlotting provides a standard tool for displaying all types of mutational signatures as well as all types of mutational patterns in cancer genomes. The tool seamlessly integrates with other SigProfiler tools.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to provide a guide for using the SigProfilerPlotting framework and associated functions/tools to visualize the output from SigProfilerExtraction and SigProfilerSimulator. An extensive Wiki page detailing the usage of this tool can be found at https://osf.io/2aj6t/wiki/home.

For users that prefer working in an R environment, a wrapper package is provided and can be found and installed from: https://github.com/AlexandrovLab/SigProfilerPlottingR

PREREQUISITES

The framework is written in PYTHON, however, it also requires the following software with the given versions (or newer):

• PYTHON version 3.4 or newer
• SigProfilerMatrixGenerator (recommended)

QUICK START GUIDE

This section will guide you through the minimum steps required to plot mutational matrices:

1. Install the python package using pip:

                          pip install SigProfilerPlotting

2. From within a python session, you can now plot your mutational matrices as follows:

$ python3
>> import sigProfilerPlotting as sigPlt
>> sigPlt.plotSBS(matrix_path, output_path, project, plot_type, percentage=False)

The available functions are listed below and the layout of the required parameters are as follows:

  sigPlt.plotSBS(matrix_path, output_path, project, plot_type)

where matrix_path, output_path, project, and plot_type must be strings (surrounded by quotation marks, ex: "/Users/ebergstr/Desktop/test_sample").

3. The final plots are saved into the user-provided output folder.

Single Base Substitution, Double Base Substitution, and Indel Plotting

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

import sigProfilerPlotting as sigPlt

sigPlt.plotSBS(matrix_path, output_path, project, plot_type, percentage=False)
sigPlt.plotDBS(matrix_path, output_path, project, plot_type, percentage=False)
sigPlt.plotID(matrix_path, output_path, project, plot_type, percentage=False)

Copy Number and Structural Variant Plotting

import sigProfilerPlotting as sigPlt

matrix_path = "./input/examples/samples/breast_cancer_samples_example.CNV48.all" #Output of CNVMatrixGenerator
output_path = "./output/examples/samples/"
project = "Breast"

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

Multi-page pdf of CNV or SV signatures

sigPlt.plotCNV(matrix_path, output_path, project, "pdf", percentage=True, aggregate=False) #plotting of CNV signatures
sigPlt.plotSV(matrix_path, output_path, project, "pdf", percentage=True, aggregate=False) #plotting of SV signatures

Multi-page pdf of CNV or SV counts

sigPlt.plotCNV(matrix_path, output_path, project, "pdf", percentage=False, aggregate=False) #plotting of CNV counts
sigPlt.plotSV(matrix_path, output_path, project, "pdf", percentage=False, aggregate=False) #plotting of SV counts

Single pdf of CNV or SV counts per sample for a given cancer type/project

sigPlt.plotCNV(matrix_path, output_path, project, "pdf", percentage=False, aggregate=True) #plotting of CNV counts
sigPlt.plotSV(matrix_path, output_path, project, "pdf", percentage, aggregate=True) #plotting of SV counts

matrix_path -> path to the mutational matrix of interest

output_path -> desired output path

project -> name of unique sample set

plot_type -> context of the mutational matrix (96, 192, 78, 94, etc.)

percentage -> Boolean: plot the mutational matrix as percentages of the sample's total mutation count. Default is False

To create a sample portrait, ensure that you have a matrix for all required contexts (SBS-6, SBS-24, SBS-96, SBS-384, SBS-1536, DBS-78, DBS-312, ID-83, ID-28, ID-96)

from sigProfilerPlotting import sample_portrait as sP
sP.samplePortrait(sample_matrices_path, output_path, project, percentage=False)

EXAMPLE

This package comes with an example test for each plot type. Run the script plot_example.py from within the downloaded repo after installation:

python3 plot_example.py

This example will create plots for each context for each of the included four samples. These plots will be saved within the BRCA_plot/plots/ folder.
