Converts annovar annotations into MAF.

Description

Converts variant annotations from Annovar into a basic MAF.

Usage

annovarToMaf(
  annovar,
  Center = NULL,
  refBuild = "hg19",
  tsbCol = NULL,
  table = "refGene",
  ens2hugo = TRUE,
  basename = NULL,
  sep = "\t",
  MAFobj = FALSE,
  sampleAnno = NULL
)

Arguments

annovar

input annovar annotation file. Can be vector of multiple files.
Center

Center field in MAF file will be filled with this value. Default NA.
refBuild

NCBI_Build field in MAF file will be filled with this value. Default hg19.
tsbCol

column name containing Tumor_Sample_Barcode or sample names in input file.
table

reference table used for gene-based annotations. Can be 'ensGene' or 'refGene'. Default 'refGene'
ens2hugo

If 'table' is 'ensGene', setting this argument to 'TRUE' converts all ensemble IDs to hugo symbols.
basename

If provided writes resulting MAF file to an output file.
sep

field seperator for input file. Default tab seperated.
MAFobj

If TRUE, returns results as an MAF object.
sampleAnno

annotations associated with each sample/Tumor_Sample_Barcode in input annovar file. If provided it will be included in MAF object. Could be a text file or a data.frame. Ideally annotation would contain clinical data, survival information and other necessary features associated with samples. Default NULL.

Details

Annovar is one of the most widely used Variant Annotation tools in Genomics. Annovar output is generally in a tabular format with various annotation columns. This function converts such annovar output files into MAF. This function requires that annovar was run with gene based annotation as a first operation, before including any filter or region based annotations. Please be aware that this function performs no transcript prioritization.

e.g, table_annovar.pl example/ex1.avinput humandb/ -buildver hg19 -out myanno -remove -protocol (refGene),cytoBand,dbnsfp30a -operation (g),r,f -nastring NA

This function mainly uses gene based annotations for processing, rest of the annotation columns from input file will be attached to the end of the resulting MAF.

Value

MAF table.

'cancerhotspots' allows rapid genotyping of known somatic variants from the tumor BAM files. This facilitates to get a quick overlook of known somatic hot-spots in a matter of minutes, without spending hours on variant calling and annotation. In simple words, it fetches nucleotide frequencies of known somatic hotspots and prioritizes them based on allele frequency. Output includes a browsable/sharable HTML report of candidate variants. Known cancerhotspots for both GRCh37 and GRCh38 assemblies (3180 variants) are included. This should be sufficient and cover most of the known driver genes/events. See Reference for details.

Co-plot version of gisticChromPlot()

Description

Use two GISTIC object or/and two MAF objects to view a vertical arranged version of Gistic Chromosome plot results on the Amp or Del G-scores.

Usage

coGisticChromPlot(
  gistic1 = NULL,
  gistic2 = NULL,
  g1Name = "",
  g2Name = "",
  type = "Amp",
  markBands = TRUE,
  labelGenes = TRUE,
  gLims = NULL,
  maf1 = NULL,
  maf2 = NULL,
  mutGenes = NULL,
  mutGenes1 = NULL,
  mutGenes2 = NULL,
  fdrCutOff = 0.05,
  symmetric = TRUE,
  color = NULL,
  ref.build = "hg19",
  cytobandOffset = "auto",
  txtSize = 0.8,
  cytobandTxtSize = 1,
  mutGenesTxtSize = 0.6,
  rugTickSize = 0.1
)

Arguments

gistic1

first GISTIC object
gistic2

second GISTIC object
g1Name

the title of the left side
g2Name

the title of the right side
type

default 'Amp', c('Amp',"Del"), choose one to plot, only focal events are shown, 'Amp' only shows the Amplification events, and 'Del' only shows the Deletion events. You can get both types plots by running the function 2 times setting ‘type' to ’Amp' and 'Del' respectively.
markBands

default TRUE, integer of length 1 or 2 or TRUE, mark cytoband names of the outer side of the plot
labelGenes

if you want to label some genes you are interested along the chromosome, set it to TRUE
gLims

Controls the G-score's axis limits. Default NULL.
maf1, maf2

if labelGenes==TRUE, you need to provide MAF object, the genes mutation info collected from the maf1 is shown on the left side, while maf2 on the right side. the genes selected are controled by the mutGenes or mutGenes1 or mutGenes1 parameter, see following.
mutGenes, mutGenes1, mutGenes2

default NULL, could be NULL, number, or character vector of gene symbols which match the corresponding MAF object's Hugo_Symbol column values. mutGenes controls both sides of the annotation, mutGenes1 controls only left side and corresponding data is extracted from to maf1, and mutGenes2 controls only right side annotation and corresponding to maf2. If 'NULL', extract the top 50 mutated genes from maf1 and maf2 seperatedly then annotate them on the left side (maf1 genes) and right side (maf2 genes). if integer, say N, only top N genes will be extracted seperately from maf1 and maf2. These two condition leads to different genes annotated on both sides. If character vector, then the genes have mutated in maf1 and maf2 will be annotated on both side of the figure which mean the two sides have the same list of genes. if mutGenes is not NULL and both mutGenes1 and mutGenes1 are NULL, then the auto set mutGenes1 = mutGenes2 = mutGenes.
fdrCutOff

default 0.05,only items with FDR < fdrCutOff will be colored as Amp or Del ( colored 'Red' or 'Blue'), others will be seen as non-significant events (colored gray)
symmetric

default TRUE, If False, when the gistic1 and gistic2 have different max values of G-scores, the Chrom (0 point of x axis) will not be in the center of the whole plot, if you set symmetric==TRUE, then the one with smaller max(G-score) will be stretched larger to make the 0 of the x axis in the middle which eventually make the plot more symmetric.
color

NULL or a named vector. the color of the G-score lines, default NULL which will set the color c(Amp = "red", Del = "blue", neutral = 'gray70')
ref.build

default "hg19", c('hg18','hg19','hg38') supported at current.
cytobandOffset

default 'auto', the width of the chromosome rects (Y axis at 0 point of X axis). by default will be 0.015 of the width of the whole x axis length.
txtSize

the zoom value of most of the texts
cytobandTxtSize

textsize of the cytoband annotation
mutGenesTxtSize

textsize of the mutGenes annotation
rugTickSize

the rug line width of the cytoband annotation

Extract read counts from genetic markers for ASCAT analysis

Description

The function will generate tsv files '<tumor/normal>_nucleotide_counts.tsv' that can be used for downstream analysis. Note that the function will process ~900K loci from Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP 6.0 Array. The process can be sped up by increasing 'nthreads' which will launch each chromosome on a separate thread. Currently hg19 and hg38 are supported. Files need to be further processed with prepAscat for tumor-normal pair, or prepAscat_t for tumor only samples.

Usage

Converts ICGC Simple Somatic Mutation format file to MAF

Description

Converts ICGC Simple Somatic Mutation format file to Mutation Annotation Format. Basic fields are converted as per MAF specififcations, rest of the fields are retained as in the input file. Ensemble gene IDs are converted to HGNC Symbols. Note that by default Simple Somatic Mutation format contains all affected transcripts of a variant resuting in multiple entries of the same variant in same sample. It is hard to choose a single affected transcript based on annotations alone and by default this program removes repeated variants as duplicated entries. If you wish to keep all of them, set removeDuplicatedVariants to FALSE.

Usage

icgcSimpleMutationToMAF(
  icgc,
  basename = NA,
  MAFobj = FALSE,
  clinicalData = NULL,
  removeDuplicatedVariants = TRUE,
  addHugoSymbol = FALSE
)

Arguments

icgc

Input data in ICGC Simple Somatic Mutation format. Can be gz compressed.
basename

If given writes to output file with basename.
MAFobj

If TRUE returns results as an MAF object.
clinicalData

Clinical data associated with each sample/Tumor_Sample_Barcode in MAF. Could be a text file or a data.frame. Default NULL.
removeDuplicatedVariants

removes repeated variants in a particuar sample, mapped to multiple transcripts of same Gene. See Description. Default TRUE.
addHugoSymbol

If TRUE replaces ensemble gene IDs with Hugo_Symbols. Default FALSE.

Details

ICGC Simple Somatic Mutattion format specififcation can be found here: http://docs.icgc.org/submission/guide/icgc-simple-somatic-mutation-format/

Value

tab delimited MAF file.

Examples

esca.icgc <- system.file("extdata", "simple_somatic_mutation.open.ESCA-CN.sample.tsv.gz", package = "maftools")
esca.maf <- icgcSimpleMutationToMAF(icgc = esca.icgc)

maxVaf

filter high frequency variants. High vaf variants maybe due to copy number alterations or impure tumor. Default 1. (on the scale of 0 to 1)
useSyn

Use synonymous variants. Default FALSE.
dirichlet

Deprecated! No longer supported. uses nonparametric dirichlet process for clustering. Default FALSE - uses finite mixture models.

Details

This function clusters variants based on VAF to estimate univariate density and cluster classification. There are two methods available for clustering. Default using parametric finite mixture models and another method using nonparametric inifinite mixture models (Dirichlet process).

Value

list of clustering tables.

Prepares MAF file for MutSig analysis.

Description

Corrects gene names for MutSig compatibility.

Usage

prepareMutSig(maf, fn = NULL)

Arguments

maf

an MAF object generated by read.maf
fn

basename for output file. If provided writes MAF to an output file with the given basename.

Details

MutSig/MutSigCV is most widely used program for detecting driver genes. However, we have observed that covariates files (gene.covariates.txt and exome_full192.coverage.txt) which are bundled with MutSig have non-standard gene names (non Hugo_Symbols). This discrepancy between Hugo_Symbols in MAF and non-Hugo_symbols in covariates file causes MutSig program to ignore such genes. For example, KMT2D - a well known driver gene in Esophageal Carcinoma is represented as MLL2 in MutSig covariates. This causes KMT2D to be ignored from analysis and is represented as an insignificant gene in MutSig results. This function attempts to correct such gene symbols with a manually curated list of gene names compatible with MutSig covariates list.

Value

returns a MAF with gene symbols corrected.

Examples

laml.maf <- system.file("extdata", "tcga_laml.maf.gz", package = "maftools")
laml <- read.maf(maf = laml.maf)
prepareMutSig(maf = laml)

If 'detectChangePoints“ is set to TRUE, this function will identify Kataegis loci. Kategis detection algorithm by Moritz Goretzky at WWU Munster, which exploits the definition of Kategis (six consecutive mutations with an avg. distance of 1000bp ) to idetify hyper mutated genomic loci. Algorithm starts with a double-ended queue to which six consecutive mutations are added and their average intermutation distance is calculated. If the average intermutation distance is larger than 1000, one element is added at the back of the queue and one is removed from the front. If the average intermutation distance is less or equal to 1000, further mutations are added until the average intermutation distance is larger than 1000. After that all mutations in the double-ended queue are written into output as one kataegis and the double-ended queue is reinitialized with six mutations.

Value

Results are written to an output file with suffix changePoints.tsv

Details

This function takes MAF file as input and summarizes them.

Copy number data can also be provided as a custom table containing Gene name, Sample name and Copy Number status.

Note that if input MAF file contains multiple affected transcripts of a variant, this function by default removes them as duplicates, while keeping single unique entry per variant per sample. If you wish to keep all of them, set removeDuplicatedVariants to FALSE.

FLAGS - If you get a note on possible FLAGS while reading MAF, it means some of the top mutated genes are fishy. These genes are often non-pathogenic and passengers, but are frequently mutated in most of the public exome studies. Examples of such genes include TTN, MUC16, etc. This note can be ignored without any harm, it's only generated as to make user aware of such genes. See references for details on FLAGS.

Value

An object of class MAF.
