In CancerMutationAnalysis: Cancer mutation analysis

Description

Somatic alterations for each gene and tumor sample from the Parsons et al. 2011 medulloblastoma (MB) study.

Usage

data(ParsonsMB11)

Format

The somatic mutations in the MB study from Parsons et al., broken down by gene, type (point mutation, amplification, or deletion), sample, screen (Discovery or Prevalence), and, for point mutations, mutation type, composed of the wild type nucleotide, its context, and the mutated nucleotide. The object is a data frame, with the variables: Gene, Type, Sample, Screen, WTNuc (wild type nucleotide), Context, and MutNuc (mutated nucleotide). The two possible values for Screen are Disc ("Discovery") and Prev ("Prevalence"). The three possible values for Type are Mut (point mutations), Amp (large amplifications), and Del (large deletions.) Indels have a "" entry for WTNuc, an "All" entry for Context, and a "ins.del" entry for MutNuc. Large amplifications and deletions have "" entries for WTNuc, Context, and MutNuc.
