MesKit: Analyze and Visualize Multi-region Whole-exome Sequencing Data
1. Introduction
Intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) is now thought to be a key factor that results in the therapeutic failures and drug resistance, which have arose increasing attention in cancer research. Here, we present an R package, MesKit, for characterizing cancer genomic ITH and inferring the history of tumor evolutionary. MesKit provides a wide range of analyses including ITH evaluation, enrichment, signature, clone evolution analysis via implementation of well-established computational and statistical methods. The source code and documents are freely available through Github (https://github.com/Niinleslie/MesKit). We also developed a shiny application to provide easier analysis and visualization.

2. Prepare input Data
To analyze with MesKit, you need to provide:
- A MAF file of multi-region samples from patients.
(
*.maf / *.maf.gz). Required - A clinical file contains the clinical data of tumor samples from each patient. Required
- Cancer cell fraction (CCF) data of somatic mutations. Optional but recommended
- A segmentation file. Optional
- The GISTIC outputs. Optional
Note: Tumor_Sample_Barcode should be
consistent in all input files, respectively.
2.1 MAF files
Mutation Annotation Format (MAF) files are tab-delimited text files
with aggregated mutations information from VCF Files. The input MAF file
could be gz compressed, and allowed values of
Variant_Classificationcolumn can be found at Mutation
Annotation Format Page.
The following fields are required to be contained in the MAF files with MesKit.
Mandatory fields:
Hugo_Symbol, Chromosome,
Start_Position, End_Position,
Variant_Classification, Variant_Type,
Reference_Allele, Tumor_Seq_Allele2,
Ref_allele_depth, Alt_allele_depth,
VAF, Tumor_Sample_Barcode
Note:
- The
Tumor_Sample_Barcodeof each sample should be unique. - The
VAF(variant allele frequencie) can be on the scale 0-1 or 0-100.
Example MAF file

## 3 0 0.000 V750_BM_32.2 Clinical data files
Clinical data file contains clinical information about each patient
and their tumor samples, and mandatory fields are
Tumor_Sample_Barcode, Tumor_ID,
Patient_ID, and Tumor_Sample_Label.
Example clinical data file
## Tumor_Sample_Barcode Tumor_ID Patient_ID Tumor_Sample_Label

By default, there are six mandatory fields in input CCF file:
Patient_ID, Tumor_Sample_Barcode,
Chromosome, Start_Position, CCF
and CCF_Std/CCF_CI_High (required when
identifying clonal/subclonal mutations). The Chromosome
field of your MAF file and CCF file should be in the same format (both
in number or both start with “chr”). Notably,
Reference_Allele and Tumor_Seq_Allele2 are
also required if you want include contains INDELs in the CCF file.
Example CCF file

4. Start with the Maf object
readMaf function creates Maf/MafList objects by reading
MAF files, clinical files and cancer cell fraction (CCF) data (optional
but recommended). Parameter refBuild is used to set
reference genome version for Homo sapiens reference
("hg18", "hg19" or "hg38"). You
should set use.indel.ccf = TRUE when your
ccfFile contains INDELs apart from SNVs.
maf.File <- system.file("extdata/", "CRC_HZ.maf", package = "MesKit")
ccf.File <- system.file("extdata/", "CRC_HZ.ccf.tsv", package = "MesKit")
clin.File <- system.file("extdata", "CRC_HZ.clin.txt", package = "MesKit")
# Maf object with CCF information
maf <- readMaf(mafFile = maf.File,
ccfFile = ccf.File,
clinicalFile = clin.File,
refBuild = "hg19") 5. Mutational landscape
5.1 Mutational profile
In order to explore the genomic alterations during cancer progression
with multi-region sequencing approach, we provided
classifyMut function to categorize mutations. The
classification is based on shared pattern or clonal status (CCF data is
required) of mutations, which can be specified by class
option. Additionally, classByTumor can be used to reveal
the mutational profile within tumors.
# Driver genes of CRC collected from [IntOGen] (https://www.intogen.org/search) (v.2020.2)
driverGene.file <- system.file("extdata/", "IntOGen-DriverGenes_COREAD.tsv", package = "MesKit")
driverGene <- as.character(read.table(driverGene.file)$V1)
mut.class <- classifyMut(maf, class = "SP", patient.id = 'V402')

profile of tumor samples.
5.2 CNA profile
The plotCNA function can characterize the CNA landscape
across samples based on copy number data from segmentation algorithms.
Besides, MesKit provides options to integrate GISTIC2 results, which can
be obtained from http://gdac.broadinstitute.org.
Please make sure the genome version based on these results is consistent
with refBuild of the Maf/MafList object .

6. Measurement of intra-tumor heterogeneity
6.1 Within tumors
6.1.1 MATH score
The mathScore function estimates ITH per sample using
mutant-allele tumor heterogeneity (MATH) approach 1. Typically, the higher the MATH score is, more
heterogeneous a tumor sample is 2 3. For MRS, this function can estimate the MATH score
within tumor based on the merged VAF when
withTumor = TRUE.
## $V402
## Patient_ID Tumor_Sample_Barcode MATH_Score
## 1 V402 V402_BM_1 123.550
## 2 V402 V402_BM_2 105.900
## 3 V402 V402_BM_3 101.664
## 4 V402 V402_BM_4 108.724
## 5 V402 V402_P_1 80.191
## 6 V402 V402_P_2 99.897
## 7 V402 V402_P_3 100.515
## 8 V402 V402_P_4 92.3376.1.2 AUC of CCF
The ccfAUC function calculates the area under the curve
(AUC) of the cumulative density function based on the CCFs per tumor.
Tumors with higher AUC values are considered to be more heterogeneous 4.
## [1] "AUC.value" "CCF.density.plot"
6.1.3 Mutation clustering
For a single region/tumor, mutCluster function clusters
mutations in one dimension by VAFs or CCFs based on a Gaussian finite
mixture model (using mclust). This function only focuses on heterozygous
mutations within copy-number neutral and loss of heterozygosity
(LOH)-free regions when clustering VAFs, as copy number aberrations will
alter the fraction of reads bearing mutations. Note that, “low VAF/CCF”
populations might be a mixture of subclones mutations represent admixed
polyphyletic lineages 14.
6.2 Between regions/tumors
To quantify the genetic divergence of ITH between regions or tumors, we introduced two classical metrics derived from population genetics, which were Wright’s fixation index (Fst) 5 6 7 and Nei’s genetic distance 8.
6.2.1 Fixation index
# calculate the Fst of brain metastasis from V402

7. Metastatic routes inference
Metastasis remains poorly understood despite its critical clinical significance, and the understanding of metastasis process offers supplementary information for clinical treatments.
7.1 Pairwise CCF comparison
Distinct patterns of monoclonal versus polyclonal seeding based on
the CCFs of somatic mutations between sample/tumor pairs.
compareCCF function returns a result list of pairwise CCF
of mutations, which are identified across samples from a single patient.
Recently, this method has been widely used to deduce the potential
metastatic route between different paired tumor lesions 9 10.
ccf.list <- compareCCF(maf, pairByTumor = TRUE, min.ccf = 0.02,
use.adjVAF = TRUE, use.indel = FALSE)
V402_P_BM <- ccf.list$V402$`P-BM`
# visualize via smoothScatter R package
graphics::smoothScatter(matrix(c(V402_P_BM[, 3], V402_P_BM[, 4]),ncol = 2),
xlim = c(0, 1), ylim = c(0, 1),
colramp = colorRampPalette(c("white", RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(9, "BuPu"))),
xlab = "P", ylab = "BM")
## show driver genes
gene.idx <- which(V402_P_BM$Hugo_Symbol %in% driverGene)
points(V402_P_BM[gene.idx, 3:4], cex = 0.6, col = 2, pch = 2)
text(V402_P_BM[gene.idx, 3:4], cex = 0.7, pos = 1,
V402_P_BM$Hugo_Symbol[gene.idx])
title("V402 JSI = 0.341", cex.main = 1.5)
7.2 Jaccard similarity index
The Jaccard similarity index (JSI) can be used to calculate
mutational similarity between regions, which is defined as the ratio of
shared variants to all variants for sample pairs 11. Users can distinguish monoclonal versus polyclonal
seeding in metastases (including lymph node metastases and distant
metastases) via calJSI function, and higher JSI values
indicate the higher possibility of polyclonal seeding 12.
JSI.res <- calJSI(maf, patient.id = 'V402', pairByTumor = TRUE, min.ccf = 0.02,
use.adjVAF = TRUE, use.indel = FALSE, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE)

## P 1.0000000 0.3410853
## BM 0.3410853 1.00000007.3 Neutral evolution
The subclonal mutant allele frequencies of a tumor follow a simple
power-law distribution predicted by neutral growth 13. Users can evaluate whether a tumor follows neutral
evolution or not under strong selection via the testNeutral
function. Tumors with R2 >= R2.threshold
(Default: 0.98) are considered to follow neutral evolution. Besides,
this function can also generate the model fitting plot of each sample if
the argument plot is set toTRUE. Please note
that this analysis has been superseded by mobster 14.
neutralResult <- testNeutral(maf, min.mut.count = 10, patient.id = 'V402', use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE)

8. Phylogenetic tree analysis
8.1 Phylogenetic tree construction
With MesKit, phylogenetic tree construction for each individual is
based on the binary present/absence matrix of mutations across all tumor
regions.
Based on the Maf object, getPhyloTree function reconstructs
phylogenetic tree in different methods, including “NJ” (Neibor-Joining)
, “MP” (maximum parsimony), “ML” (maximum likelihood), “FASTME.ols” and
“FASTME.bal”, which can be set by controlling the method
parameter. The phylogenetic tree would be stored in a
phyloTree/phyloTreeList object, and it can be further used
for functional exploration, mutational signature analysis and tree
visualization.
8.2 Compare Phylogenetic trees
Comparison between phylogenetic trees can reveal consensus patterns
of tumor evolution. The compareeTree function computes
distances between phylogenetic trees constructed through different
methods, and it returns a vector containing four distances by
treedist from phangorn R package. See treedist
for details.
tree.NJ <- getPhyloTree(maf, patient.id = 'V402', method = "NJ")
tree.MP <- getPhyloTree(maf, patient.id = 'V402', method = "MP")
# compare phylogenetic trees constructed by two approaches
compareTree(tree.NJ, tree.MP, plot = TRUE, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE)## 4 clades are common between two trees.## $compare.dist
## Symmetric.difference KF-branch distance Path difference
## 4.000000 111.858196 5.291503
## Weighted path difference
## 678.297716
##
## $compare.plot
8.3 Functional exploration (custom module)
Users can conduct functional exploration based on
phyloTree objects. Below is an example showing how to
perform KEGG enrichment analysis via ClusterProfiler
by extracting genes in certain categories from a phylotree object.
library(org.Hs.eg.db)
library(clusterProfiler)
# Pathway enrichment analysis
V402.branches <- getMutBranches(phyloTree)
# pathway enrichment for private mutated genes of the primary tumor in patient V402
V402_Public <- V402.branches[V402.branches$Mutation_Type == "Private_P", ]
geneIDs = suppressMessages(bitr(V402_Public$Hugo_Symbol, fromType="SYMBOL",
toType=c("ENTREZID"), OrgDb="org.Hs.eg.db"))
KEGG_V402_Private_P = enrichKEGG(
gene = geneIDs$ENTREZID,
organism = 'hsa',
keyType = 'kegg',
pvalueCutoff = 0.05,
)
dotplot(KEGG_V402_Private_P)
8.4 Mutational characteristics analysis
The sequence context of the base substitutions can be retrieved from the corresponding reference genome to construct a mutation matrix with counts for all 96 trinucleotide changes using “mut_matrix”. Subsequently, the 6 base substitution type spectrum can be plotted with “plot_spectrum” , which can be divided into several sample groups.
mutTrunkBranch function calculates the fraction of
branch/trunk mutations occurring in each of the six types of base
substitution types (C>A, C>G, C>T, T>A, T>C, T>G) and
conducts two-sided Fisher’s exact tests. For C>T mutations, it can be
further classified as C>T at CpG sites or other sites by setting
CT = TRUE. This function provides option plot
to show the distribution of branch/trunk mutations. Substitutions types
with significant difference between trunk and branch mutations are
marked with Asterisks.
## [1] "mutTrunkBranch.res" "mutTrunkBranch.plot"## Patient_ID Group Trunk Branch P_Value

triMatrix function generates a mutation count matrix of
96 trinucleotides based on somatic SNVs per sample, which can be later
fed into the fitSignatures function to estimates the
optimal contributions of known signatures to reconstruct a mutational
profile. Besides, the signature matrix can be specified
("cosmic_v2", "exome_cosmic_v3" and
"nature2013") or provided by users via
signaturesRef parameter. plotMutSigProfile
function can be utilized to visualize both original mutational profile
and reconstructed mutational profile.
trimatrix_V402 <- triMatrix(phyloTree, level = 5)
# Visualize the 96 trinucleodide mutational profile
plotMutSigProfile(trimatrix_V402)[[1]]
# reconstruct mutational profile of V402 using COSMIC V2 signatures
fit_V402 <- fitSignatures(trimatrix_V402, signaturesRef = "cosmic_v2")
# Compare the reconstructed mutational profile with the original mutational profile
plotMutSigProfile(fit_V402)[[1]]
# Below plot shows cosine similarities between the mutational profile of each group and COSMIC signatures
library(ComplexHeatmap)
ComplexHeatmap::Heatmap(fit_V402$V402$cosine.similarity, name = "Cosine similarity")
9. Phylogenetic tree visualization
The plotPhyloTree functionan of MesKit implemented an
auto-layout algorithm to visualize rooted phylogenetic trees with
annotations. The branches can be either colored according to
classification of mutations or putative known signatures by
branchCol parameter. Argument show.bootstrap
is provided to show the support values of internal nodes. Additionally,
a phylogenetic tree along with a heatmap of mutation profile (via
mutHeatmap functionan) enable a better depiction of
mutational patterns in tumor phylogeny.
# A phylogenetic tree along with binary and CCF heatmap of mutations
phylotree_V402 <- plotPhyloTree(phyloTree, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE)
binary_heatmap_V402 <- mutHeatmap(maf, min.ccf = 0.04, use.ccf = FALSE, patient.id = "V402", use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE)
CCF_heatmap_V402 <- mutHeatmap(maf, use.ccf = TRUE, patient.id = "V402",
min.ccf = 0.04, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE)
cowplot::plot_grid(phylotree_V402, binary_heatmap_V402,
CCF_heatmap_V402, nrow = 1, rel_widths = c(1.5, 1, 1))
