Thank you for your interest in mutSignatures
!
- version: latest (dev) version,
2.1.5
- previous versions are available as alternative branches
-
integrated R-based computational framework aimed at deciphering DNA mutational signatures
-
provides advanced functions for importing DNA variants, computing mutation types, and extracting mutational signatures via non-negative matrix factorization (NMF)
-
I/O: accepts multiple types of input data (VCF, MAF), is compatible with non-human genomes, and supports the analysis of non-standard mutation types, such as tetra-nucleotide mutation types.
-
the latest version of
mutSignatures
(available here on GitHub) fixes a known compatibility issue between older versions ofmutSignatures
and more recent versions of BSgenome objects. If you get an error while running theattachContext()
function, please re-install the latest version ofmutSignatures
(from GitHub, see below!) and try again. -
compared to mutSignatures version 1.3.1-7, the latest
mutSignature
version replaced theplot()
method with themsigPlot()
method. Please, make sure to usemutSignatures::msigPlot()
to build plots (as shown in the vignette attached to the package) especially when reproducing examples from older vignettes. Thanks!
