DESCRIPTION¶
This command relates clinical traits and mutational data. Either one can perform
correlation analysis between mutations recorded in a MAF and the particular
phenotypic traits recorded in clinical data files for the same samples, or one
can run a generalized linear model (GLM) analysis on the same types of data.
The clinical data files for correlation must be separated between numeric and
categoric data and must follow these conventions:
- •
- Headers are required
- •
- Each file must include at least 1 sample_id column and 1 attribute column,
with the format being [sample_id clinical_data_attribute_1
clinical_data_attribute_2 ...]
- •
- The sample ID must match the sample ID listed in the MAF under
"Tumor_Sample_Barcode" for relating the mutations of this
sample.
Note the importance of the headers: the header for each clinical_data_attribute
will appear in the output file to denote relationships with the mutation data
from the MAF.
Internally, the input data is fed into an R script which calculates a P-value
representing the probability that the correlation seen between the mutations
in each gene (or variant) and each phenotype trait are random. Lower P-values
indicate lower randomness, or likely true correlations.
The results are saved to the output filename given with a suffix appended;
".numeric.csv" will be appended for results derived from numeric
clinical data, and ".categorical.csv" will be appended for results
derived from categorical clinical data. Also, ".glm.csv" will be
appended to the output filename for GLM results.
The GLM analysis accepts a mixed numeric and categoric clinical data file, input
using the parameter --glm-clinical-data-file. GLM clinical data must adhere to
the formats described above for the correlation clinical data files. GLM also
requires the user to input a --glm-model-file. This file requires specific
headers and defines the analysis to be performed rather exactly. Here are the
conventions required for this file:
- •
- Columns must be ordered as such:
- •
- [ analysis_type clinical_data_trait_name variant/gene_name covariates memo
]
- •
- The 'analysis_type' column must contain either "Q", indicating a
quantative trait, or "B", indicating a binary trait will be
examined.
- •
- The 'clinical_data_trait_name' is the name of a clinical data trait
defined by being a header in the --glm-clinical-data-file.
- •
- The 'variant/gene_name' can either be the name of one or more columns from
the --glm-clinical-data-file, or the name of one or more mutated gene
names from the MAF, separated by "|". If this column is left
blank, or instead contains "NA", then each column from either
the variant mutation matrix (--use-maf-in-glm) or alternatively the
--glm-clinical-data-file is used consecutively as the variant column in
independent analyses.
- •
- 'covariates' are the names of one or more columns from the
--glm-clinical-data-file, separated by "+".
- •
- 'memo' is any note deemed useful to the user. It will be printed in the
output data file for reference.
GLM analysis may be performed using solely the data input into
--glm-clinical-data-file, as described above, or alternatively, mutational
data from the MAF may be included as variants in the GLM analysis, as also
described above. Use the --use-maf-in-glm flag to include the mutation matrix
derived from the maf as variant data.
Note that all input files for both correlation and GLM analysis must be
tab-separated.
ARGUMENTS¶
- --bam-list
- Provide a file containing sample names and normal/tumor BAM locations for
each. Use the tab- delimited format [sample_name normal_bam tumor_bam] per
line. This tool only needs sample_name, so all other columns can be skipped.
The sample_name must be the same as the tumor sample names used in the MAF
file (16th column, with the header Tumor_Sample_Barcode).
