Standard ASCAT run

library(ASCAT)
ascat.bc = ascat.loadData(Tumor_LogR_file = "Tumor_LogR.txt", Tumor_BAF_file = "Tumor_BAF.txt", Germline_LogR_file = "Germline_LogR.txt", Germline_BAF_file = "Germline_BAF.txt", gender = rep('XX',100), genomeVersion = "hg19") # isTargetedSeq=T for targeted sequencing data
ascat.plotRawData(ascat.bc, img.prefix = "Before_correction_")
ascat.bc = ascat.correctLogR(ascat.bc, GCcontentfile = "GC_example.txt", replictimingfile = "RT_example.txt")
ascat.plotRawData(ascat.bc, img.prefix = "After_correction_")
ascat.bc = ascat.aspcf(ascat.bc) # penalty=25 for targeted sequencing data
ascat.plotSegmentedData(ascat.bc)
ascat.output = ascat.runAscat(ascat.bc, write_segments = T) # gamma=1 for HTS data
QC = ascat.metrics(ascat.bc,ascat.output)
save(ascat.bc, ascat.output, QC, file = 'ASCAT_objects.Rdata')

Minimal ASCAT run (adapted from the standard run: no logR correction, no intermediate plot, no QC)

library(ASCAT)
ascat.bc = ascat.loadData(Tumor_LogR_file = "Tumor_LogR.txt", Tumor_BAF_file = "Tumor_BAF.txt", Germline_LogR_file = "Germline_LogR.txt", Germline_BAF_file = "Germline_BAF.txt", gender = rep('XX',100), genomeVersion = "hg19")
ascat.bc = ascat.aspcf(ascat.bc, out.dir = NA) # penalty=25 for targeted sequencing data
ascat.output = ascat.runAscat(ascat.bc) # gamma=1 for HTS data
save(ascat.bc,ascat.output,file='ASCAT_objects.Rdata')

ASCAT run without matched normal data (platform needs to be adapted, see ?ascat.predictGermlineGenotypes)

library(ASCAT)
ascat.bc = ascat.loadData(Tumor_LogR_file = "Tumor_LogR.txt", Tumor_BAF_file = "Tumor_BAF.txt", gender = rep('XX',100), genomeVersion = "hg19")
ascat.plotRawData(ascat.bc, img.prefix = "Before_correction_")
ascat.bc = ascat.correctLogR(ascat.bc, GCcontentfile = "GC_example.txt", replictimingfile = "RT_example.txt")
ascat.plotRawData(ascat.bc, img.prefix = "After_correction_")
gg = ascat.predictGermlineGenotypes(ascat.bc, platform = "AffySNP6")
ascat.bc = ascat.aspcf(ascat.bc, ascat.gg=gg)
ascat.plotSegmentedData(ascat.bc)
ascat.output = ascat.runAscat(ascat.bc, write_segments = T)
QC = ascat.metrics(ascat.bc,ascat.output)
save(ascat.bc, ascat.output, QC, file = 'ASCAT_objects.Rdata')

ASCAT run with multi-sample segmentation (when shared breakpoints are expected)

library(ASCAT)
ascat.bc = ascat.loadData(Tumor_LogR_file = "Tumor_LogR.txt", Tumor_BAF_file = "Tumor_BAF.txt", Germline_LogR_file = "Germline_LogR.txt", Germline_BAF_file = "Germline_BAF.txt", gender = rep('XX',100), genomeVersion = "hg19")
ascat.plotRawData(ascat.bc, img.prefix = "Before_correction_")
ascat.bc = ascat.correctLogR(ascat.bc, GCcontentfile = "GC_example.txt", replictimingfile = "RT_example.txt")
ascat.plotRawData(ascat.bc, img.prefix = "After_correction_")
ascat.bc = ascat.asmultipcf(ascat.bc)
ascat.plotSegmentedData(ascat.bc)
ascat.output = ascat.runAscat(ascat.bc, write_segments = T) # gamma=1 for HTS data
QC = ascat.metrics(ascat.bc,ascat.output)
save(ascat.bc, ascat.output, QC, file = 'ASCAT_objects.Rdata')
