mutSignatures

Thank you for your interest in mutSignatures!

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 of mutSignatures and more recent versions of BSgenome objects. If you get an error while running the attachContext() function, please re-install the latest version of mutSignatures (from GitHub, see below!) and try again.
compared to mutSignatures version 1.3.1-7, the latest mutSignature version replaced the plot() method with the msigPlot() method. Please, make sure to use mutSignatures::msigPlot() to build plots (as shown in the vignette attached to the package) especially when reproducing examples from older vignettes. Thanks!

The package was developed at Northwestern University, Chicago, IL (Department of Urology, 2017-2020)
The package is still maintained by Damiano Fantini in his free time (Damiano has left academia). Therefore, please be patient when asking for help of submitting new issues! Thanks.
