SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR

An R wrapper for running the SigProfilerMatrixGenerator (https://osf.io/s93d5/wiki/home/) framework.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to provide a guide for using the SigProfilerMatrixGenerator framework to generate mutational matrices for a set of samples with associated mutational catalogues. An extensive Wiki page detailing the usage of this tool can be found at https://osf.io/s93d5/wiki/home/. For users that prefer working in a Python environment, the tool is written in Python and can be found and installed from: https://github.com/AlexandrovLab/SigProfilerMatrixGenerator

PREREQUISITES

devtools (R)

>> install.packages("devtools")

reticulate* (R)

>> install.packages("reticulate")  

*Reticulate has a known bug of preventing python print statements from flushing to standard out. As a result, some of the typical progress messages are delayed.

Alternatively, you can set up a conda environment with all the prerequisites. You can download minicoda for your operating system here and follow the instructions below:

conda create --name spmg_r -y
conda activate spmg_r
conda install python=3.10 r-base r-devtools r-reticulate -c conda-forge -y

QUICK START GUIDE

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

  1. First, install the python package using pip. The R wrapper still requires the python package:
pip install SigProfilerMatrixGenerator
  1. Open an R session and ensure that your R interpreter recognizes the path to your python3 installation:
$ R
>> library(reticulate)
>> use_python("[path_to_your_python3]") # if using conda the path will be [path_to_your_conda]/envs/spmg_r/bin/python
>> py_config()
python:         /anaconda3/bin/python3
libpython:      /anaconda3/lib/libpython3.6m.dylib
pythonhome:     /anaconda3:/anaconda3
version:        3.6.5 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Apr 26 2018, 08:42:37)  [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Clang 4.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_401/final)]
numpy:          /anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/numpy
numpy_version:  1.16.1

If you do not see your python3 path listed, restart your R session and rerun the above commands in order.

  1. Install SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR using devtools:
>>library(devtools)
>>install_github("AlexandrovLab/SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR")
  1. Load the package in the same R session and install your desired reference genome as follows (available reference genomes are: GRCh37, GRCh38, mm9, and mm10):
>> library("SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR")
>> install('GRCh37', rsync=FALSE, bash=TRUE)

This will install the human 37 assembly as a reference genome.

  1. Place your vcf files in your desired output folder. It is recommended that you name this folder based on your project's name

  2. From within the same R session, you can now generate the matrices as follows:

SBS/DBS/ID

>> library("SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR")
>> matrices <- SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR("test_SBS", "GRCh37", "[path_to_repo]/test_data/SBS", plot=T, exome=F, bed_file=NULL, chrom_based=F, tsb_stat=False, seqInfo=False, cushion=100)

The layout of the required parameters are as follows:

SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorFunc(project, reference_genome, path_to_input_files)

where project, reference_genome, and path_to_input_files must be strings (surrounded by quotation marks, ex: "test"). Optional parameters include:

  exome=FALSe:       [boolean] Downsamples mutational matrices to the exome regions of the genome
  bed_file=NULL      [string path to bed_file] Downsamples mutational matrices to custom regions of the genome. Requires the full path to the BED file.
  chrom_based=FALSE  [boolean] Outputs chromosome-based matrices
  plot=FALSE         [boolean] Integrates with SigProfilerPlotting to output all available visualizations for each matrix.
  tsb_stat=FALSE     [boolean] Outputs the results of a transcriptional strand bias test for the respective matrices.
  seqInfo=FALSE      [boolean] Ouputs original mutations into a text file that contains the SigProfilerMatrixGenerator classificaiton for each mutation.
  cushion=100        [integer] Adds an Xbp cushion to the exome/bed_file ranges for downsampling the mutations.

INPUT FILE FORMAT

This tool currently supports maf, vcf, simple text file, and ICGC formats. The user must provide variant data adhering to one of these four formats. If the user’s files are in vcf format, each sample must be saved as a separate files.

CNV & SV: Setting up R environment with conda

conda create --name spmg_r_1.2.13 -y
conda activate spmg_r_1.2.13
conda install python=3.10 r-base r-devtools r-reticulate -c conda-forge -y
pip install SigProfilerMatrixGenerator
echo 'devtools::install_github("AlexandrovLab/SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR")' | Rscript -

Generating CNV matrices

>> library("SigProfilerMatrixGeneratorR")
>> matrix_cnv <- CNVMatrixGenerator("BATTENBERG", "[path_to_repo]/test_data/CNV", "test_CNV", "output_dir_CNV")
