Documented in compareSignatures

#' Compares identified denovo mutational signatures to known COSMIC signatures
#'
#' @description Takes results from \code{\link{extractSignatures}} and compares them known COSMIC signatures. Two COSMIC databases are used for comparisons - "legacy" which includes 30 signaures, and "SBS" - which includes updated/refined 65 signatures
#' @details SBS signature database was obtained from https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn11738319.7
#'
#' @param nmfRes results from \code{\link{extractSignatures}}
#' @param sig_db can be \code{legacy} or \code{SBS}. Default \code{legacy}
#' @param verbose Default TRUE
#' @return list containing cosine smilarities, aetiologies if available, and best match.
#' @seealso \code{\link{trinucleotideMatrix}} \code{\link{extractSignatures}} \code{\link{plotSignatures}}
